'ONE TERRIFIC GUT 9 COMES TO AGNES SCOTT

by Becky Moses

This year, the normal frenzy
of registration was escalated
by the hustle bustle of actors,
actresses, directors,
costumers, light and sound
crews, mammoth filming
devices and endless tangles of
electrical cord. It was all part
of the filming of "One Terrific
Guy," a CBS made for T.V.
movie starring Mariette
Hartley and Wayne Rogers. It
is due for release in December
or January.

Rogers plays a charming,
successful baseball coach at
the local high school whose
scheme of seducing young
girls under the guise of
research is discovered.
Hartley's character, the
mother of a molested girl,
takes the issue to court. Sur-
prisingly, the community
rallies at first to the defense of
the coach and ostracizes the
accusing family. It is only after

a visit from Wayne Rogers during filming.

the gradual accumulation of
testimonies from other abused
girls that the lecherous coach
is finally convicted.

"One Terrific Guy" is the
fourth movie to be filmed in
part on the ASC campus. Also
filmed here were "Double

McGuffin," "The Four
Seasons," and "The Bear
Bryant Story." According to
Mike Reilly of the Georgia Film
Office, Agnes Scott's populari-
ty as a filming site is part of a
growing trend in the movie in-
dustry. Agnes Scott has
several advantages which

prove marketable. Its location
in Atlanta, Georgia seems to
be crucial. Georgia is an in-
creasingly favorable movie
making site because of the
diversity of topography (North
Georgia mountains to the sea
coast of Savannah), its year
round mild climate, the

availability of both
metropolitan city zones and
rural areas, and the large pool
of talent due in part to the
location of a Screen Actors
Guild office in Atlanta.

Another of Agnes Scott's
advantages is what Mr. Reilly
calls "the generic look." In
"The Four Seasons," Agnes
Scott was set as a New
England college. In "The Bear
Bryant Story" it represented
the University of Alabama
campus. In short, Agnes Scott
could be any school,
anywhere. Describing the cam-
pus as generic, however, does
not imply that it is bland. On
the contrary, Ms. Hartley ex-
claimed upon her arrival. "Oh,
it's just BEAUTIFUL!
BEAUTIFUL!"

One thing is certain — at
Agnes Scott it will never be
quiet on the set!

HONORS : TRIBUTE TO EXCELLENCE

On Wednesday, September
25, 1985, Agnes Scott's
Centennial class got its first
taste of Academic Regalia.
The faculty, staff, and
students packed into Gaines
in celebration of Honors Day,
a tradition since 1950. This
year, Honors Day not only
celebrated the academic
achievements of outstanding
students, but honored those
engaged in the "life-long pur-
suit of academics and ex-
cellence." Three Agnes Scott
professors whose current
scholarly pursuits merit
recognition and attention
shared with the campus their
studies.

Professor Pinka, at Agnes
Scott since 1969, has spent
much of her time studying the
coalescence of the essays and
meditations of the 17th cen-
tury. They are considered two
distinct genres of literature,
but initial questions about the
devotions of John Donne led
her to research similarities
between the two types. Her
research uncovered that the
two genres did indeed begin to

merge, probably due in part to
the Protestant emphasis on
reason in religious efforts.

Dr. Martin, Professor at
Agnes Scott for nearly 30
years, played a brilliant piece
on the remarkable Gaines
organ. The piece was compos-
ed by Robert Shuman, and was
entitled BACH. The musical
notes B,A,C, and H form the
basis for the complex and
unusual piece, which is a
tribute to Johann Sebastian
Bach.

Dr. Chang, Professor of Bi-
ble and Religion since 1956,
provided a humorous insight
into what festivals say about
the values of a society. He ex-
plained some of the oriental
festivals, and the Eastern con-
cept of honour brought a new
twist to our traditional view of
honour; how to give it, not how
to keep from losing it.

The following students were
honored for achievement:

TO THE POINT

by Becky Moses

I am sitting in the new Profile office at my desk which wob-
bles with startling violence whenever I write. It is three a.m. and
the only other person in the Infirmary is Beth, the Assistant
Editor, who is alternately writing feverishly, staring into space,
and chuckling under her breath. It's interesting how nearly
empty places make you reflect on the
creativity that normally goes on inside
them. Somehow, too, they get you to
pondering potential.

It's the beginning of a new year,
we've got a new office, and a new staff,
and potential seems to be the word of
the hour. It reminds me of a story I was
enchanted with when I was a pre-teen.
(It was one of the few things that en-
chanted me when I was a pre-teen.) The
story is called "Stone Soup", and
t goes something like this. There once was a begger who came
to a town full of people who did not seem to be greatly moved
by his arrival until he mentioned that he could make the finest
soup ever to visit the palate out of a stone. And he produced
the stone, straight away, for their inspection. He set about his
preparations in the middle of the town square, despite their
cynicism, and when he had a fire and a kettle of water, he plop-
ped in the stone. Each citizen went about minding his own par-
ticular business, but the beggar visited each one and told them
a tale or two. Eventually, they'd ask how the soup was coming
along, and he'd reply, "The SOUP! Oh, the soup. It is the best
batch I've ever made! I've outdone myself on this one! I can't
wait for you to have it! Only thing is," he'd pause, "it needs a
ittle something." And then he'd say it needed a carrot, or some
celery salt, or whatever there seemed to be a lot of around. So,
before you know it, the soup was done, with a little bit from
here and there. And the whole town turned out to enjoy it,
thoroughly amazed at what they felt certain was a magic
stone.

Anyway, it reminded me of the power that humans have to
create something wonderful together. It's four o'clock in the
morning now, and when I think of the year that's ahead of us, it
urns into a kettle of water in my imagination. Somewhere in-
side my desk I'm sure I saw a stone, and somewhere inside the
Profile staff (and the Agnes Scott community) there's paprika
and potatoes and parsley and anything else we need, and
somewhere in the back of my mind I know we can do it.

STUDENT CONCERNED ABOUT REP TROUBLES

I must admit I had no inten-
tion for my first column to be
such a controvercial issue —
but then I didn't expect this.
Whispers are circling and
rumors rife, so I shall attempt,
with what I can piece together,
to set some of this straight.
Some of you may have heard
that Rep is having some
budgetary problems. Right
now, at this writing (29
September) their books are be-
ing audited by a CPA to cor-
rect them, and worst of all —
the IRS is sending threatening
letters to them for failure to
file and pay taxes last spring.
The proverbial organic
material has hit the oscillating
ventilation device. All in all,
the problems of the SGA
treasury add up to a hefty loss
running into the thousands of
dollars. So what's going on?
Let's go back in time a little.
(For simplicity's sake, I will
use T1, T2, and T3 in reference
to the three treasurers involv-
ed.)

One and one-half years ago,
when T2 received the books
from T1, there were problems.
From what I understand, the
system used by SGA
treasurers is antiquated and
messy. The volume of checks
incoming and outgoing is
tremendous and overloads
they system, making book-
keeping impossible. As a
result of the overload T2 pro-
ceeded to get T3 to fill the
position of assistant treasurer
to assist her with her respon-
sibilities. The present pro-

blems were born in the inade-
quacies of the system but
began to manifest themselves
in the 1984-85 year. The books
fell into disrepair. The assis-
tant treasurer position did not
produce the needed help, and
so several problems
developed. I'll get to these
later.

When T3 was elected it took
much of spring quarter to
transfer the books and realize
the scope of the problems. To
make matters worse some of
the books are still not in T3's
possession, not are they
registered in her name. The
Meryl Lynch money market ac-
count still has TVs name on it.
Last spring quarter several
large problems developed.
First of all, the spring allot-
ment for SGA was never pick-
ed up and deposited into their
account. Also, a large check
was written from the wrong ac-
count, displacing it at a
critical period. The result of
this was three insufficient
funds checks written for
Social Council.

A second matter that has
arisen involves some conflict
of stories. There were several
checks which were lost in the
process of packing up the Rep
office in Rebekkah last spring.
T2 found them at home later
when she unpacked for the
summer. She holds that they
were mailed back to T3 with
orders to deposit them im-
mediately. T3, however,
reports that she found these
checks which T2 had
neglected to deposit. One way

or the other the checks are
still outstanding to the sum of
$800 + .

The last incident began
back before T2 took office. Ap-
parently, the past treasurer,
T1, had done the tax return for
the 1983-84 year before she
handed over the books. T2 was
not instructed on the process
or even the existence of tax
returns. The result? Agnes
Scott is being investigated by
the IRS for failure to file a tax
return. When the present ad-
ministration learned of this
they immediately hired the
CPA to begin setting things
straight.

Now what am I trying to ac-
complish by bringing this in-
formation to your attention?
Several things. First of all, I do
not want to give my opinions
of the action that SGA should
take. I do this because, as of
this writing, they have not
solved this delimna, and I want
to leave them room to con-
tinue to clean their own house.
Secondly, I want to encourage
all of you who seek out the
facts and let Rep Council
know how you feel. They are
having an open meeting Tues-
day, October 8 for the express-
ed purpose of airing this issue.
If after that meeting Rep Coun-
cil has, in my eyes, let the
school down and failed to to
their duty, I will freely express
my opinion. As for now I along
with you, Agnes Scott, await
their decisions. I only hope
they are strong enough to
make them.

The

President's Mit

A sincere welcome to new members of the student body,
new faculty and staff members at Agnes Scott. You have
come to this institution at an especially exciting time as we
see the first results of our extensive renovation program and
begin to enjoy new programs and facilities.

Each person on this campus is an important part of the
whole, and as I tried to emphasize at our opening convoca-
tion, fostering community involves having common ex-
periences as well as common ideals. There are so many op-
portunities to be involved in the life of the community, in
sports activities, in worship, in interest groups and social
activities. I hope that each one will find a way to participate
fully in the life of the community and also bring forward sug-
gestions for an even better campus spirit.

Remember that there are many avenues of communica-
tion available to everyone. One is the suggestion box in But-
trick; another is the opportunity to talk with me at the Presi-
dent's Open Office Hour each Wednesday from 2:30-3:30,
and in addition, people on this campus are always happy to
receive communications and to chat with others informally
and formally.

There is so much to offer each person in the collective life
of Agnes Scott College, that it will depend on each one of
you to make the most of the opportunities and to contribute
in your own way to the improvement of our College and
especially to being a good messenger to others of the
glorious experience which being a part of the Agnes Scott
community is for all of us.

A very good year to each one and to all of us together.

Note: The President's Mit is a forum for discussion bet-
ween the students and President Schmidt. In each issue a
question from the student body will be posed to the Presi-
dent. The question and her answer will appear on the
editorial page. Questions should be submitted to Box 764.

CAT-NAPPED! This week the infamous black kitty disappeared from the sight
of the class of '86. Could ASC have a cat-burglar on its hands?

A VACATION FROM
THE IVORY TOWER

REP RAP

I have come to the conclu-
sion that well into the evening
is the most opportune time to
compose words of wisdom for
the Profile. David Letterman is
a must for accompanying such
a task as is a chilled Classic
Coke and a bowl of lightly but-
tered popcorn.

In such an atmosphere one
can reflect on the day's events
and receive inspiration and
guidance for the day yet to
dawn. Especially when one
feels compelled to mull over
the really important decisions
that will affect Agnes Scott —
decisions that Representative
Council (Rep) must deal with
weekly. Should Rep continue
to meet in the startlingly bare
recesses of the Infirmary's se-

cond floor, or should we,
rather, relocate to the West
Terrace dining room? Should
sheets upon which students
mark through their names as
they amble into the glory that
is Gaines be relieved of their
task, or should they be left as
tributes to involved, culturally-
minded young women who
treaded those hallowed halls?

These decisions must be
made, and yet, they first must
be considered and that is
where an evening with a come-
dian, beverage, and ruffage is
the ticket. I urge you to con-
sider your own decisions in
such a manner — that they
might be given full considera-
tion with a relaxed psyche and
composed visage.

by Elizabeth Mullis

Ever since I've been here at
Agnes Scott I've been one of
those "problem students," a
classic underachiever, who
was wonderful in high school
but never quite made that tran-
sition into college. I've search-
ed for reasons and excuses for
me, my parents and my
teachers. I've been in Dean
Hudson's office so many
times that she had a personal
chair on order for me until she
moved to the Dean of Students
Office. There's a big indenta-
tion in the wall of her former
office where she used to bang
her head after I left. My
ultimate excuse for my lack of
"academic success" was that
I didn't like this place, that I
didn't belong here, that this
place wasn't real.

Well, I generally don't
believe in big dramatic turn-
arounds, but this summer
gave me a very valuable ex-

perience that has allowed me
to appreciate and maybe even
to love this place. I attended
two sessions of summer
school at the state university
near my hometown. The
classes were large, the pro-
fessors were impersonal and
bitter, and the students were
very flipant and unconcerned
with scholarly pursuits. I lived
on a residence hall with forty
other women. I knew none of
their names except for my
roommate's.

One day in my Western Civ
class we had a twenty minute
discussion on why a rather
irate business major in my
class should have to take
calculus. The narrowness of
thought was astounding.
Students would complain of
having to read a thirty-page
chapter per day for class.
(Mind you, this was ex-
cellerated summer school — a
semester in five weeks).

AGNES SCOTT WELCOMES NEW FACULTY MEMBERS

The Pro//7e staff welcomes
the following faculty members
to the Agnes Scott community
and would like to wish all a
successful and exciting year:
Linda Bell, Associate Pro-
fessor of Philosophy (part-
time, fall); Lyn Cates, Lecturer
in Education (fall); Rosemary
Cunningham, Assistant Pro-

fessor of Economics;
Rosemary Eberiel, Assistant
Professor of French; Gerard
Elfstrom, Assistant Professor
of Philosophy (part-time);
Rebecca Fleischman, Lecturer
in Education (fall); Jeanne
Lucie Fourneyron, French
Language Assistant; Steven
Guthrie, Assistant Professor

of English; Mani Kamerkar,
Visiting Professor of History
(spring); Denise Leary, Instruc-
tor in Chemistry (part-time);
William Leonard, Visiting Pro-
fessor of Mathematics (winter
and spring); Kathryn Malody,
Instructor in Biology / Coor-
dinator of Laboratories; Sally
Rackley, Assistant Professor

of Classical Languages and
Literature (part-time); Gerlinde
Steinke, German Language
Assistant; and Samuel Weins-
tein, Lecturer in Bible and
Religion (spring). The Profile
will run a series in the issues
to come featuring each new
faculty member.

I found the instruction to be
good, but the grading to be in-
sulting. The students had
adapted themselves to the
standard set by the university.
Most would probably perform
at a higher standard should
this be asked of them, but it's
not.

After several weeks of this I
strangely found myself long-
ing for Agnes Scott, the place I
previously had so endearingly
referred to as "the Ivory
Tower." I realized that the
friendship I have made here
are very special. The pro-
fessors are satisfied with their
work. The standards are high
in order to coax the very best
work out of us. The environ-
ment is condusive and en-
couraging.

When September 10 rolled
around I sped in my little blue
Datsun in Atlanta. Driving onto
this campus was like confron-
ting an old enemy with renew-
ed respect, but this old enemy
is fast becoming a friend.

INMAN: PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ

by Louisa Parker

ASC students have
wandered awestruck through
Inman rooms, have seen
posters proclaiming "Inman: A
New Begining", and have
heard at least one freshman
yell, 'This is a dorm!" Con-
trary to popular belief, some
people actually sleep in those
loft-filled rooms and entertain
in "The Ritz." But, how did the
dorm reach hotel status, and
what about the future?

The renovation of Inman is
the first project in a campus
masterplan which was compil-
ed by a comission and
adopted by the board. The
masterplan lists projects in
every area of Agnes Scott in
order of necessity. "It's not
that we decided that other im-
provements are not worth-
while. You have to do things
in some order, and you have to
start somewhere," explained
Gerald Whittington, director of
Agnes Scott Business Affairs.
The renovation projects are
funded by issued bonds sold
specifically for that purpose.

Why was Inman so
beautifully decorated? There
are many reasons. Most impor-
tantly, over the years our
buildings have been grand-
fathered so they were exemp-

ted from new safety and fire
regulations. We were told that
the first time we touched the
building we'd have to meet all
the regulations. In other
words, we had to build the
building up again," explains
Mr. Whittington. The
masterplan commission
foresaw these problems and
realized that if a wall had to be
replaced, it might as well be
decorated. After reviewing
many decorating firms'
credentials, the firm of Jova
Daniels Busby was selected.

Because of their complex
structures, Rebecca and Main
will be renovated differently
from Inman, although
decorated in the same period,
Victorian. The Business
department is going to take a
survey of Inman inhabitants to
find out their likes and
dislikes. "We'll use this infor-
mation in making decisions
about Main and Rebecca,*'
said Mr. Whittington. "I'm real
proud of Inman, and Rebecca
and Main are going to be fine
buildings," he concludes.

AGNES SCOTT OPENS NEW FACILITIES

Agnes Scott students, facul-
ty, staff and friends celebrated
the grand opening of the col-
lege's newly renovated terrace
dining facility, campus store
and post office Wednesday
afternoon, September 11.

In her opening remarks,
Agnes Scott President Ruth
Schmidt noted, "The opening
of these facilities, which in-
clude terrace dining inside
and outside, a snack bar and a
new campus store, marks the
first step in the large campus

renovation project to be com-
pleted during 1989, our centen-
nial year." She encouraged
friends of the college to come
back often to take advantage
of these facilities at functions
such as the Great Scott! Com-
munity Festival. President
Schmidt also recognized the
many people who contributed
to the renovation including
Bailey Associates, architects;
Jova/Daniels/Busby, interior
designers; Foster and Cooper,
contractors; and Agnes Scott

staff Willie Warren — project
manager. Jim Hooper —
physical plant, and Gerald
Whittington — vice president
for business affairs.

Decatur Mayor Mike Mears
presented a key to the city to
Ruth Feicht, president of
Agnes Scott's Student Govern-
ment Association. Stressing
the importance of Agnes Scott
College and its students to the
city of Decatur, Mayor Mears
'remarked, "This key is a sym-
bol of how we feel about

students at Agnes Scott, and
by giving it to the president of
student government, we are
symbolically giving it to all
Agnes Scott students."

Decatur City Commis-
sioners Marian Cunningham
and Ted O'Callaghan, and
Agnes Scott Trustees Suzella
Burns Newsome, Betty Scott
Noble and John H. Weitnauer,
Jr. joined President Schmidt
and Mayor Mears in cutting a
ribbon to formalize the open-
ing of the facility.

Finally, one bank in town has
designed a checking account
to meet a student's needs
and priced it to match a
student's budget.

Most hanks charge s1 udents a fee for just having the
account and charge additional fees for each check written
and each time their automated teller machine is used. Or, a
significant balance is required to avoid these charges.

Firsl Atlanta's student checking account is quite different.

For only $1 your first five checks during any statement
period are free. And, Tillie is available for your use free of
any additional charges. Since each check written over five
is priced at $.50 per check, our student account is
designed primarily for those who use Tillie for cash and
use checks to cover other expenses.

Get the credit you deserve.

Students who do not have a record of bounced clun ks
during the first six months of activity on their account will
be considered for a line of credit. It can be used to cover
unexpected expenses or used to insure that a small mistake
in your checkbook doesn't lead to a large overdraft fee.
After one year of properly maintaining a student account ,
you may also be considered for a Visa card.

Make the Dean's list and your account is FREE.

Bring us proof that you earned Dean s List honors and your
student account will be free of all regular service 4 charges
during three statement periods.

Agnes Scott Social Council
would like to welcome
everyone back to another fun-
filled quarter. We especially
want to extend a warm
welcome to the class of 1989,
and we hope that you will all
participate and enjoy this
fall's social events.

Kicking off the quarter was
a TGIF on September 27th
from 5:30 to 8:30. Because this
was the last weekend many of
us were legal drinkers, the
theme of the TGIF was "Last
Call for Alcohol!" It was also
sort of a farewell to warm
weather so we encouraged
everyone to break out the
Jams and Ray Bans for one
last time.

Certainly not to be forgotten
is THE social event of the
quarter-Black Cat! This year's
Black Cat formal is on October
19th at the Sheraton Century
Center. The music is by
PHOENIX, and the night will
undoubtedly be as fun and
successful as ever. As you
know, there isn't much time
left between now and October
19th so start scoping for dates
to this traditional event!

To wrap up the quarter, we
will have a final TGIF on
November 8th in the Hub.
Please come out and have a
great time getting to know
guys from nearby colleges.
With everyone's support and
participation we can make this
the best social quarter ever!

George W. Woodruff was honored by Agnes Scott College Wednesday, May 31, at a lun-
cheon held in the college's Terrace Dining Room. Mr. Woodruff served on the Agnes Scott
Board of Trustees for over 30 years and is currently trustee emeritus and an active member
of the college's investment committee.

Prior to the luncheon, Mr. Woodruff and other special guests toured the almost complete
renovation of Inman residence hall, part of the $15 million renovation effort scheduled for
completion in 1989, the college's centennial year. "Mr. Woodruff has shown great interest in
the Agnes Scott campus over the years, and we're delighted that he came to view the pro-
gress we are making," remarked President Ruth Schmidt.

Richard Weekly and Lisa Davis enjoy the Sept. 27 TGIF.

MARLETTE HARTLEY:

ALONE AT LAST

by Becky Moses

She was standing in line at
the Department of Motor
Vehicles, hair sprouting from
the top of her head in an
Alfalfa-esque ponytail, with
the child who had sucked the
picture off her license clinging
to her knees. Suddenly, she
heard from behind her a thick,
guttural curse. "Hey! Ah, S-t!
God. Oh, yeah. Oh, s-t! Gah.
Hartley, right? That's who you
are. Yeah! You do those Kodak
commercials!" The 400 pound,
acne-riddled "double bagger"
had unknowingly struck a
nerve.

"And that happens all the
time!" laughs Mariette
Hartley. It isn't that she minds
being recognized for the
Polaroid commercials she did
with James Garner (although

It seems ironic
that her image
would be set
in concrete by
a series of
commercials.

she does object to being
mistaken for his wife). It just

seems ironic that her image
would be set in concrete by a
series of commercials rather
than by her recent, more major
works. For example, few peo-
ple are even aware that
Hartley is an Emmy award win-
ner. She got the award for best
supporting actress in T.V.'s
"The Incredible Hulk."

The direction of her career
has run a parallel course with
the evolution of her personal
image. "It seems to have taken
me a long time to find my iden-
tity," she says. "I think it
began about ten years ago,
when I got married and had
children, really." (At this point
she recounts the story of her
daughter, Justine's birth. She
was literally giving birth in the
back of a Honda, her feet prop-
ped up on the shoulders of her
French husband, when the
police surrounded them,
mistaking Phillipe for the
West-side rapist!)

One of the most critical
turns in her career came when
she accepted the roles in two
issue-oriented made-for-T.V.
movies. One was the Candy
Lightner Story, about one
woman's involvement with
Mothers Against Drunk Driv-
ing. Says Hartley, "It was the
beginning of my political
awareness. I was raised that

one person can't count. Candy
taught me that one person
CAN." The other movie,
"Silence of the Heart" was a
tremendous personal and pro-
fessional challenge. Hartley,
whose father killed himself,
played the mother of a
teenager who commits
suicide. "Having been a victim

"My God, how
much more of
your gut do
you have to
show?"

of suicide myself, I wanted to
know if there was any dif-
ference in the reaction of a
parent to a child as opposed to
child to parent. There was
none. They're all the same."
Speaking of her meeting with
the mother of the boy por-
trayed in the movie, she says,
"I've never discussed details
like that before with anyone.
The sights, the smells. Coming
home . . .changing the sheets."
It was an achievement for her,
and she was sorely disap-
pointed when it didn't merit an
Emmy. "I mean, an Emmy for
Hulk and not for "Silence"?

My God, how much more of
your gut do you have to
show?"

In Hartley's latest movie,
"One Terrific Guy", she plays
the mother of a child who is
molested by a popular high
school coach. It isn't the
dramatic challenge that
"Silence" was, but for Hartley,
the business of acting goes
beyond a great performance.
"Part of the thrill of living in
this age is that a lot of these
issues are coming out of the
closet. I'm in the public eye, so
I have a responsibility as an
actress to my generation. I
think that's what acting's all
about."

When she finishes "One Ter-
rific Guy," Hartley will return
to her office (conveniently
wedged between Warren Beat-
ty and Eddie Murphy). She's
planning a one woman show
to be called "Mariette-Alone at
last." She plays herself this
time, and it may be her most
demanding role yet. There
won't be a character to shelter
her from the spotlight. But
she's come a long way since

the Polaroid days, and
Mariette Hartley is holding her
own.

ROGERS BALANCES COMEDY WITH DRAMA

Photos by Laura Smith

by Elizabeth Mullis

"I don't want to look back at
age X and say 1 spent my life
doing frivolous stuff," said
Wayne Rogers, casually perch-
ed atop a formica counter, the
only remaining seat in his
cramped trailer. It wasn't a
Trapper wisecrack. It wasn't a
romantic overture toward Lynn
Redgrave. But rather, it was
the genuine concern of a real
person. Though his image
elevates him before the public
eye. Wayne Rogers is not big-
ger than life.

His demeanor is remarkably
cool as he saunters through
the campus, every female
head turning to gaze in his
direction. "I don't mind the

fame," he says, "it will always
get me a quick table in a
restaurant." He flashes that
memorable Trapper smile.

His roles on MASH and
Housecalls have made him an
American favorite, but his
latest role as a high school
coach who molests young
girls affords him the oppor-
tunity to use that fame to
make a social statement. That
the statement is of a con-
troversial nature does not
seem to concern Rogers: "If I
played the King of England,
people wouldn't go around

genuflecting. If I played Hitler,
people wouldn't salute." What
does concern him is that the

American public schools are
becoming so institution-
alized that the integrity of the
teacher-student relationship is
being jeopardized. "From the
time a student enters the first
grade until graduation he
spends eight hours a day in
the classroom. A quick rela-
tionship is being formed, and
the issue here (in this movie) is
not the abuse but rather the
violation of the teacher-
student trust."

Rogers speaks openly of his
secondary school education
and the dramatic turnaround
that occurred. His parents,
unable to handle their unruly
child, sent him away from his
homestate of Alabama to be
disciplined by the reputed
Webb School in Tennessee.
"All I was interested in were
fast cars, chasing women, and
drinking beer," Rogers admits.
But he continues, "Those
strict old ladies rapped me on
the wrists and made me learn
my Latin and Greek, . . . and I
got into Princeton."

Asked if his latest role has
any relevence to his own life
he responded, "Well, I haven't
molested any young girls late-
ly." (Big smile.) Then he
seriously responded revealing
that his daughter went ot a
school where a similar situa-
tion occurred.

Like his fellow actor
Mariette Hartley, Rogers
seems to be launching himself
into a career of issue oriented
roles. He just completed a
movie about six Cambodian
children who come to live in
the US with a family in Chat-

" All I was in-
terested in
were fast cars,

women, and
drinking beer."

tanooga, Tennessee. And he is
quick to point out that though
MASH and Housecalls were
comedies, they still dealt with
issues.

But Rogers saves some time
for "frivolous stuff." This fall
he will appear in the two-hour
NBC pilot for the reincarnated
"I Dream of Jeanie" with Bar-
bara Eden.

During his stay on campus
some resourceful sophomores
displayed a sign enunciating
their worship of Rogers. He
reacted with a quick visit to
their room. He responded
later, "Those girls were nice,
so I was nice to them. That's
the way I like to work."

GREEK FESTIVAL

RETURNS TO ATLANTA

by Kim Mitchell

In the fall of every year the
Atlanta Greek Orthodox
Cathedral is transformed from
a tranquil place of worship in-
to a festive carnival, complete
with food, wine, music and
dance. This year the Atlanta
Greek Festival took place over
a period of four days,
September 19 to September
22. The Festival began in 1965
as a way for Greek Atlantans
to celebrate their cultural
heritage. Since then, that
celebration has grown to in-
clude the non-Greek members
of the community, thereby in-
creasing local awareness of
rich Greek heritage.

Perhaps the primary attrac-
tion to the festival is the food.
Sundry unpronounceable
delights such as the pastries
galatoboureko, kourabiedes
and melomacarona, as well as
various lamb, chicken and
beef dishes were all prepared
by the Cathedral parishioners.

Also many different Greek
wines were available for
tasting in wine booths. Greek
coffee could be found in the
Kafenion, or Coffee House. All
of the foods and drinks could
be purchased in the numerous
tents on the grounds behind
the Cathedral. Cookbooks
were sold in the Bakaliko, a
country store, as well as
spices, filo and other food
items. Continuous video tapes
demonstrated the art of Greek
cooking.

Greek music and folk dance
performances were also in
abundance. Live and taped
music played outdoors from
noon until late evening. In ad-
dition, three different dance
groups performed all day at
regular intervals. The dancer's
authentic costumes were as
interesting, if not more so, as
the dances themselves.

In addition to the food and
entertainment outside, inside
the Cathedral there were many

exhibits and activities.
Religious lectures on the
history of the Church and
tours of the cathedral were
held throughout the day. Many
Greek artists were
represented in an interesting
art exhibit. In two rooms, an
Athens' travel agency had
films playing showing the
scenic Greek landscape, cities
and people that "most tourists
never see." Travel agents were
also available to answer anv
questions about travel in
Greece. There were many
small shops selling such
items as linens, rugs,
clothing and books. High
school students contributed
by sponsoring a Payoto or ice
cream stand. And then, to
forever remember this adven-
ture into Greek culture, there
was a festival photo tent
where you could be
photographed in the guise of
your favorite Greek god or god-
dess to proudly display to your
friends and relative.

UNITED WAY NEEDS DONATIONS

Anyone who has had a
friend or family member who
received a blood transfusion,
was a member of the Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp
Fire, YWCA or YMCA, or
received cancer treatment,
has benefited from the United
Way. These organizations and
fifty-nine others provide much
needed services to one of
every three families in the
metropolitan Atlanta area.

As we have watched the

news from Mexico over the
past two weeks, a consistent
image is that of the Red Cross
emblem worn by so many of
the rescue workers. Their help,
along with that of the Salva-
tion Army, is helping to deal
with much of the human
anguish being experienced by
our neighbors to the south.
Both of these organizations
are recipients of United Way
funds and without those
monies, would be unable to
provide the level of assistance

currently being offered.

October 1-9 marks the 1985
United Way Fund Drive at
Agnes Scott College. Our goal
is to receive pledges and dona-
tions totaling $10,649. To
reach this goal to help of all
members of our community is
needed. Any gift will be greatly
appreciated by those in need.
Anyone interested in making a
contribution should send it to
Susan D. Little, Director of
Financial Aid before October
9th.

Bradley Observatory Open House tonight at 8 p.m. - Includes
"The Stars of Late Summer," a planetarium show, lecture,
telescope viewing, and more.

REAL COLLEGE STUDENTS EAT ANYTHING

by Milo Scott

Now that you (freshmen) are
in college there are some
things you must come to
realize about Real College
Students (RCS). The following
is a list of the guidelines for
RCSA (Real College Student
Activity).

1. Real College Students
don't sleep. That is, until they
get to class. They do catnap
for short periods at a time.
This rule of thumb is hard to
adjust to at first, but necessity
will facilitate the process. This
habit adjusts to every activity
from partying to partying.
RCS's can even walk across
campus alseep without much
difficulty.

2. RCS's never claim to
study. They hide in dark cor-
ners in disguise when they ac-
tually study. They never,
however, claim to study. They
are too busy to stoop to such
levels. Any excuse is quite ac-
ceptable from "my goldfish
died and I'm too depressed to
study" to "I'm rearranging my
sock drawer."

3. RCS's are overly-involved
individuals. This serves two

functions. It gives them an ex-
cuse to avoid study. It also in-
sures votes in any later
political endeavors.

4. RCS's exist on a two li-
quid diet (for the first few
years at least). The average
RCS consumes approximately
three cups of coffee a day.
This serves to awaken and
energize the individual to ac-
complish the task at hand. The
second beverage in the RCS
diet is undoubtably BEER!;
which is consumed at an
average of two a day. Alcohol,
as a general rule could be in-
cluded, but beer is the most
common form because it is
cheap (See 5). Beer serves to
balance off the effects of the
coffee. After several years of
this torture the stomach may
demand a supplement to this
in the form of milk. Please let
me emphasize — this is not to
be healthy — it is to enable
the RCS to keep the other two
liquids in his / her diet.

5. RCS's are misers. How
else can they afford the beer?
They pride themselves on
spending less than a quarter a
day. They frequent the dollar

movies, know the cheapest
beer joints in town and go
home to let mother buy all
their clothes.

6. RCS's don't iron. They
don't even understand the con-
cept. An iron is the thing that
they use as a book end. The
result is that their clothes
have that constant rumpled
look which many people
mistake for messiness.

7. RCS's wouldn't be caught
dead in an intellectual discus-
sion outside of a bar. It never
fails that a class full of RCS's
will ignore a professor trying
to start an intellectual debate
but the same group will hotly
debate the same topic over a
pitcher at the local pub later
that day.

8. RCS's eat anything
(especially if it's free). This
harks back to number four.
Because of the state of their
stomachs they are condi-
tioned to consume anything. It
is a proven fact that real col-
lege students loose their
sense of taste when they enter
college,, and don't regain it un-
til their graduation — when
they know everything.

BUY-SHY" BOOKSTORE
AGRIVATES STUDENTS

by Becky Moses

It's the first day of classes,
and after you've sat through
your quota of introductory
speeches, you head over to the
bookstore. Your list of books
is as long as the Gulf Coast,
and you figure the cost will be
only pennies less than the na-
tional defense budget. But
what's this? Only one of your
twenty three books is on the
shelf! What are you going to
do? Professor Speedy Gon-
zalez isn't likely to slow the
progression of class while you
wait for your copy of "The Boll
Weevil and the Mediterranean
Basin" to arrive from Lebanon.
And all of the used copies
have been scarfed up by those
thrifty RTC's!

Sound remotely familiar?
There is hardly an Agnes Scot-
tie who hasn't experienced
this aggravating phenomenon.
And the most basal reaction
goes something like this: "#* ! !
Why can't the bookstore order
a few extra books here and
there?! I feel like Oliver Twist
asking for an extra bowl of por-
ridge! !"

Before you burst a crucial
blood vessel, perhaps you
should consider the position
of the bookstore. Now there's
a novel concept. The variables
which affect the supply and
demand of books in the
bookstore are numerous, and
it's as frustrating to Dee Ed-
wards, who orders the books,
as it is to us. Mrs. Edwards
orders books according to the

number of students registered
for each class by the end of
the summer. But it never fails,
that come the first week of
class, there is a rash of drop /
adds that drastically alters the
availability of books. In addi-
tion, it is difficult to anticipate
the course selections of
freshmen (and hence the
number of freshmen per class)
on any other basis than norms,
which may vary considerably
from year to year. RTC's often
register late in the summer,
after book orders have been
made. One factor which deter-
mines whether books will be in
stock by the time classes start
is the date on which the pro-
fessor requests the text. Some
professors wait as late as the
day before classes begin to
order.

After a book has been
ordered, the efficiency of the
publishing company deter-
mines the date of arrival. It
varies from company to com-
pany, as one might suspect,
and delivery can take as little
as 24 hours or as much as
three weeks.

All of these are factors
which are for the most part,
beyond the control of those
who order our textbooks for
us. Short orders are indeed a
major hassle for everyone in-
volved, and are particularly
common to smaller colleges.
So before you accuse the
bookstore of being "buy-shy"
— reconsider the cir-
cumstances.

Once again Meryl Streep
has proven to her audience
that she is an actress of
substance. Her latest perfor-
mance in "Plenty" is a master-
ful piece of work that il-
lustrates the full gambit of her
abilities.

As the movie opens we see
Englishwomen Susan
Traherne (Streep) working with
the French Resistence forces
during World War II. After the
war she returns to a socially
and economically depressed
England, and, as a result, she
assumes the depression of her
homeland. She idealizes her
days spent in France and
especially the night she spent
with a fellow SOE member. For
years she will carry with her
the gold cuff links he left her
before his sudden early-
morning return to England.

Finding that the mundane
life she leads in England can-
not match the excitement of
her time in France, she
becomes listless and
dissatisfied. She envies her
happy-go-lucky roommate

Ulmann. She runs from job to

The Flora Glenn Candler
Concert Series opened this
year on Oct. 11 with Hermann
Prey, baritone. Known primari-
ly in the United States as one
of the great lieder singers of
our time, Prey has sung in
every major opera house in the
world. On Nov. 24, Robert
Shaw will conduct the Candler
Choraliers, the Glenn Chancel
Choir, the Georgia State Choir
and members of the Atlatna
Symphony Orchestra in
Bach's "St. John Passion."

Other highlights of the Flora
Glenn Candler Series include
the Jan. 14 performance of I
Solisti di Zagreb, one of the
most distinguished chamber
orchestras in the world. The
ensemble performs regularly
in the great music centers of
Europe, North and Latin
America, the Soviet Union and
the orient, offering a diverse
repertory ranging from the
baroque to the contemporary.

Internationally-known
pianist Paul Bandura-Skoda
will perform Feb. 11. Most
recently, Bandura-Skoda has
appeared at Carnegie recital
Hall, as soloist with the Buf-
falo Philharmonic and the New
York Virtuosi Chamber Or-

chestra and on tour with the
Concerto Soloists of
Philadelphia. The Flora Glenn
Candler Concert Series will
conclude on April 25 with the
Berlioz "Requiem," conducted
by William Lemonds.

Mezzo-soprano Janice
Meyerson will appear at Glenn
Memorial Auditorium on April
18. Meyerson made her New
York City Opera debut in 1983
in the title role of "Carmen,"
and returned as Santuzza in
Cavalleria Rusticana in 1984.

The black grand piano,
silhouetted against the light
curtains, dominated the stage.
Lee Luvisi, accomplished
chamber pianist, strode out,
seated himself, and commenc-
ed to play a flood of music that
rolled over the audience. He in-
tertwined meaningful pauses
with intricate melodies and
crescendos to full, bold notes.
This piano concert on Sept. 24
was the first in a series of
seven special events to take
place this year at Agnes Scott.

The audience enjoyed many
different aspects of the con-

Scott student, explained,

rescued her from a mental

In a role that could easily
lend itself to melodrama
Streep has subtly crafted
Susan into a painfully
touching character. The
change from sanity to insanity
is gradually executed so that
the plight of Susan is realistic.
This is the kind of work we
have come to expect from
Streep after her work in
"Sophie's Choice" and
"Silkwood." She will be first in
line when Oscar time roles

Ulmann is the comic relief in
this heavy film. Her entrance
onto the screen results in a
pace change that keeps the
movie from dragging. Her
natural comedic nature comes
through in hilarious form. Her

otherwise tension-filled film.

Two students from Reiherdt

Sting is surprisingly good as
Susan's impotent lover. He is
originally engaged by her to
rather nonchalantly father a
child, but as eighteen months
drag by with no results he is
fired from his position. Sting
successfully divorces himself
from his Police image and
creates a touching charicature
of a lovesick puppy which is
endearing.

Australian director Fred
Schepisi has done a commen-

Adopted from the stage ver-

has acquired some awkward-

Scene changes are sometimes
a bit nebulous, but after a few
minutes one can acclimate
oneself to the change.
Schepisi's eye for visual detail
is extraordinary. The movie is
full of rich visual images.

The film, as a whole, is mov-

presence on screen serves to
make this one of the best films
of the 1985 season.

ROBERT HILD: HIS IDEAS ON ART AND LIFE

by Heather Rogers

Beginning October sixth,
the Dana Arts Center will have
as its guest, Dr. Robert B. Hild
who will be exhibiting his art
until November 21. For the
past 20 years, Dr. Hild has
taught art at Westminster Col-
lege in Pennsylvania where
ten years ago he met and mar-
ried Ellen Hall, Dean of Agnes
Scott College. Currently, Dr.
Hild is teaching an art class at
Georgia State. Dr. Hild who
has been a member of the
distinguished American Water
Color Society since 1971, has
shown his work in over 100
shows — many in New York's
National Galleries — in the
past decade. His work is col-
lected by many institutions
such as the Butler Institute of
American Art and can be
found in the collections of
Senators Edmund Muskie and
Orrin Hatch. Dr. Hild holds a
B.A. from Indiana University of
Pennsylvania, a Master's from
the University of Pittsburgh,
and a Doctorate in art from
Carnegie-Mellon.

I recently had the enjoyment
of spending an afternoon talk-
ing with Dr. Hild about his
ideas on art and life, and his
words are as follows:

"I consider myself a concep-
tual artist because life and art
aren't separate. In the last 25
years it's been very difficult to
separate where architecture
stops and sculpture begins or
where sculpture stops and
painting begins ... Or what
about photography, film, and
TV and how the artist, per-
formers and the audience start
to interact with one another?
Where do you draw the line as
to where the art stops and life
begins?

"I hate to sound corny but I
think we're here to learn —
period. Do with whatever you
have and make the best of it
you can in whatever you
decide that may be. There's a
quality of life that I think peo-
ple have to decide and I can't
separate that from my art.

"I realize this isn't
everybody's experience but be-
ing an artist you kind of try so
hard most of the time to get in
touch with yourself and to ex-
press it in an honest way that
sometimes does hit a wider
audience. Maybe true art is
that feeling as an observer or
as an audience to where you
see or hear something and you
say, 'that's the way I feel.'

"Quite often in society at
the time the art is going on,
the most popular artist is not
always the one who changes
our direction, our vision, or
what we will become.

"A subject that fascinates
me maybe most is, 'what is the
nature of change?' because
I've been immersed in the past
twelve years in a lot of Oriental
philosophy, and they deal with
change. Probably the most in-
credible art form that's been
taking place is right out there
(the track and field-to-be just
past my backyard) to watch

that transform. What that look-
ed like a year ago and what it
looks like now and what it will
look like in another six months
is incredible. I'm sorry I didn't
take a movie of that.

"Essentially all I can do (for
the Agnes Scott exhibit) is
show a lot of what I've been
doing up until last year. Now
there are some things that I
have been working on that I
hope to have finished for the
show that I found interesting
in this particular environment
(namely the Atlanta highway
interchange construction). But
it's just a beginning. I'd almost
rather have a show a year from
now.

"Most artists are between
two extremes. The artist is a
combination of ego and
humility. They have to have the
ego to do the work. Teachers
are like that too by the way.
You have to have enough ego
to say, 'I think I have
something important to say,
so listen to me!" On the other
hand it's tempered by this
humility that things fail a lot,
and I don't have all the
answers, and I'm flat on my
face a lot, and these things
that I'm working with drive me
crazy most of the time. It's bet-
ween that polar feeling of 'I'm
worthless' to where 'well,
maybe I'm worth something.'
As you read about artists

"I don't know
that there is
anything more
important than
women finding
out their
dimensions."

through history, they're full of
that up one day down the next.

"I'm speaking to you as a
visual person who has been
trained to use their eyes and is
talking to other people about
what we see and how impor-
tant it really is and how short-
changed we get in our general
education process which is
primarily focused on the left or
logical side of the brain. We
need a balance (between the
right and left sides of the
brain) because if you get too
structured . . .

"How many artists think
about what they are going to
do and after they do it it's ex-
actly what they were thinking
of? That would bore me to
death, frankly. I like to start
with a germ and then it takes
you on its own trip.

"So what I'm saying to you
is that artwork takes on its
own life. There's no rule of
thumb about when a painting
is completed. The thing that
makes it very difficult for
judgement out here is that we
tend to attach value in time:

'How much time did it take?'
It's not the highly specialized
nature (of the work) that we
think of but only the time it
takes to do so. But really we
have to add up all the time it
took for them to get to that
place. That's the other thing
that maybe I would say about
art that is sad because our
educational system is based
upon success premium. We
don't place enough emphasis
on giving credit for failing and
so we have a lot of students in
school who won't take a
course that they may learn a
lot from because it may in-
terfere with their grade
average or their success. And
that's sad because you have to
fail in certain things in order to
succeed. I mean I could talk
about our space program, our
mechanical heart program, I
could go through millions of
examples. We want them to
succeed but they aren't all go-
ing to be successful, and there
isn't any better way to learn
than in this manner.

"I was married before for
eleven years and I have two
children who are teenagers
now. Ellen and I have been
married for ten years and we
have two boys — Clinton and
Jason who are five and seven.
So I'm at two ends of the skew
looking at kids, lifestyles, and
families. I taught public
school for five years in junior
high and highschool and
finished getting a master's
degree and doing my own art
work. There really were those
times when I'd tell my kids, I'll
play football later; let me
finish this painting.' I just
didn't drop things to satisfy
their needs. I think it's very im-
portant probably for most of
us to fulfill our egos and at the
time I wanted to find out, 'well,
how good am I? and how do I
find that out?' First of all I
didn't want to show anything
— I didn't think it was that
good. Then there was a point a

year or two after I was out of
college when I felt: I'm ready
to show. I think after you go
through undergraduate school
you're doing exercises for in-
structors and you get different
inputs from different instruc-
tors and different influences
and it's very difficult to find
out who you are. Usually it
takes a couple of years.
There's that gestation period
that they need to find out who
they are, and they sift through
the influences and emerge.
Then maybe they are ready to
show.

"As a young person, to see
whether I could get into shows
meant something, and I was
thrilled to get into a Pittsburgh
show, I worked very hard the
next year trying to get ready

"If you don't
get challenged
enough at the
right time, you
might not go
as far as your
potential
could take
you. Or you
could get over-
challenged
and give up."

for the next Pittsburgh art
show, and I thought I had bet-
ter stuff, but I didn't get a thing
in the second year. There is a
certain degree of luck to all of
that. I've literally had pieces
accepted at one exhibit and
turned down at another.

"As I got into shows, this
professor sat me down and

said, 'What's Pittsburgh? Why
don't you try shows in New
York?' So here is a teacher do-
ing what I think teachers
ought to do which is to help
set sights and help with their
students' timing. You're going
to run out of teachers in a
hurry — me included — who
know about timing. What I
mean about timing is 'when
should you be lifted and en-
couraged and when should
you be cut to where the
criticism is just beneath your
threshhold?' If you don't get
challenged enough at the right
time, you might not go as far
as your potential could take
you. Or you could get over
challenged and want to give
up.

"Soon after I graduated col-
lege and began working on my
art, I was working in a very
secure area and I had never
had anybody challenge me in
that way, but this instructor
did, and he put his finger on
every single piece of my work.
He said it was all very nice but
that I had no courage. In five
minutes he chopped me right
down to the ground. I mean it

"Where do you
draw the line
as to where
the art stops
and life
begins?"

was devastating. I wondered
whether I should stay with art
at all. But that's the only way
anyone grows if you're going
to face it, if you're ready to
face it, and if it is done at the
right time. Those are critical
moments, and I think people
are lucky if they get them.
That's what education really
is. It caused me to rethink
what I was doing and in the
next two or three weeks, I
started out in a whole new
direction. Everything before
was wiped out.

"Then I came across an old
barn that had fallen in, and
something really grabbed me
about that. There was
something magical about it.

It could have been a
religious experience — as
they say an aesthetic ex-
perience. That's very difficult
to describe to someone, but
you know when you have one
— a chill goes down your
back. So I went back to that
site over and over again for
three years, and I did over 300
drawings and paintings of the
thing — outside, inside. I get
real philosophical about that,
because what art is to me and
I think for most people is it is
moving past the subject. But a
lot of people are just respon-
ding to the subject, and that's

With rehearsals for their
Fall Producton well under way,
Blackfriars is off to a good
start for an exciting year. This

sent The Good Person of
Szechwan by Bertolt Brecht.
The play tells the story of Shen
Teh who is visited by three
gods who tell her that she
must try to be good. The gods
give her a sum of 1,000 silver
pieces with which she buys a
small tobacco shop. Instantly
word of Shen Teh's goodness
spreads throughout the city,
and the "mongrels" in the
street begin to use her shop as
a haven of in mercy. How can
she remain good and save her
shop and herself?

all they see. So there were peo-
ple who would see the range of
work and say, 'what are you
painting these old barns for?'
and my response was, 'what
old barns?' I don't see old
barns. First of all the context
of the barn is gone — is
changed — it's now got
another shape. This is one of
the most difficult things for
people to get over is what
they're looking at and people
only want to see subject. The
fallen down barn was this — it
was a living organism. For me
I'm never bored with that piece
— it always has interest. I
think it (a painting of 'the barn'
in his den) is my best piece. I
can't give it up.

"(When Ellen got the job as
Dean) it was difficult for me to
just drop everything and leave
Pittsburgh. So what we work-
ed out was that she would
come down here while I stayed
up there. We went through this
whole year of transition; it was
a hard year for both of us. I still
don't have 'a job,' and it
doesn't bother me either.

"I can't say this with any
more conviction than saying
it's really important for Ellen
and I to pursue as much a pro-
fessional life as possible, to
also raise a family, and to set
values for the family, and also
to deal with a balance of male
and female roles in interacting
with all of that. That's the time

we are living in, and I don't
know that there is anything
more important than women
finding out their dimensions.

"I have shifted to the point
where life and energy are so
important to me, and the more
I read about Oriental
philosophy, jog, and think
about the quality of life, the
more I realize that I don't want
to miss a day interacting with
the kids, Ellen, the dog, the
plants, the people who are
close to me, I mean because I
start to see a kind of tem-
porariness in life itself. I don't
want to be at a stage where I
say 'gee, what happened the
last twenty years anyway?' My
art work is really what I do
last. If I get to the art, fine. If I
don't get to it, fine."

"This stuff," he says poin-
ting to his artwork in his home
studio, "this stuff isn't really
important. But this stuff," he
says picking up a drawing by
his young son, "this is where
it's at."

On Monday, September 16th
a number of Agnes Scott
students who had expected
the routine lecture in their
morning Theatre class were
treated to an unexpected visit
from Wayne Rogers. Rogers
generously took time from his
filming schedule to answer a
number of questions about his
life in the theatre as well as a
few less 'professional' ques-
tions (No, he is not married!).
He discussed the problems of
working on a movie set, such
as the numerous distractions
that can dig into an actor or
actress's concentration, and
commented that this was one
of the reasons he prefers work-

For the past 15 years, local
armchair travelers have
delighted in Worldwide
Travelogs' colorful programs
on faraway places. This year's
series, featuring some of the
world's most exotic destina-
tions, again promises lots of
entertainment.

The Travelogs, films produc-
ed and narrated live by profes-
sional filmmakers, are
presented in Atlanta's Sym-
phony Hall, Marietta's Cobb
Civic Center, and Presser Hall
at Agnes Scott College in
Decatur.

The schedule, which runs
from Oct. through April, is as
follows:

• "Riviera Ports of Call"
with Chris Borden: Atlanta,
2:30 p.m., Oct. 13; Marietta,
2:30 p.m. and 7:30 pl.m., Oct.
14 and 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 15;
Decatur, 7:30 p.m., Oct. 8.

Borden sails his 27-foot
sloop along the French and

quarter's production. Rebecca
will be playing Shen Teh and
Jeanine will have the part of a
god. Blackfriars is also very
excited to see several new
faces. Lainey Kahlstrom, a
Junior transfer from the
University of Cincinatti plays
Wang the Waterseller. Prin-
ceanna Walker, a freshman
from Columbus, plays Mrs.
Shin. Blackfriars is glad to
welcome all its new members
to the organization and is very
grateful for their support and
enthusiasm in the staging of
this production.

The Good Person of
Szechwan is directed by Becky
Prophet of the theatre depart-
ment and will be presented for
a special preview performance
at the Winter Theatre in the
Dana Fine Arts Building on Oc-
tober 31. Other performances
will be on November 1, 2, 7, 8,
and 9.

Furthermore, the Theatre
Department at Agnes Scott is
proud to announce their latest

ing in the live theatre. He
reports that the Hollywood 'rat
race' is every bit as nasty as
one hears and made the com-
ment that there are more
films being made in Georgia
this month than in Hollywood!

Rogers discussed the dif-
ficulties he had understanding
his character (a coach who
molests high school girls) in
"One Terrific Guy" and
answered general questions
about acting and directing. It
was a pleasure to talk with
him and I, for one, look for-
ward to seeing his perfor-
mance in "One Terrific Guy"
as well as the repeat perfor-
mance of Agnes Scott 'in the
movies'!

ment. Dr. Lifton, or Paul, as he
chooses to be called by his
students, received his doc-
torate at Berkeley and is a
native Californian. In a recent
interview I asked Dr. Lifton
just what could bring him to a
small women's college in the
South. Dr. Lifton stated that he
appreciated the "informal at-
mosphere" in the classroom.
He also mentioned that he
was impressed with the beau-
ty of the campus, and he was
excited about "the intelligent
and personable theatre facul-
ty."

CINDY PETERSON:

by Pilar Duque and
Mary Carter Whitten

We have, I am sure, all heard
of the basketball team and the
successful tennis team at
Agnes Scott, but how many of
us know anything about the
person responsible for these?

Cindy Peterson or "coach,"
as she is most frequently call-
ed, came to Agnes Scott three
years ago. Originally from
Petersburg, Va. she got her
undergraduate degree in
Physical Education at James
Madison University and went
to Auburn to obtain her
masters in education at the
same time she had a teaching
and graduate assistantship to
the women's basketball team.
One lucky day for us her ad-

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE RACKET

visor at Auburn told her about
an opening at ASC, and she
came.

When asked what her
favorite sport was, she
hesitated for a moment, and
had to name three: basketball,
tennis, and running. Apart
from those, she also enjoys
golf and waterskiing.

Even outside Agnes Scott
Coach Peterson is very active
in sports; she competes year
round in an ALTA (Atlanta
Lawn Tennis Association)
team, plays basketball for her
church team, and runs
numerous road races in and
around the Atlanta area. At

this moment she is trying to
decide whether or not to run
the Atlanta Marathon (26
miles) on Thanksgiving day.

During the fall, Ms. Peterson
coaches the tennis team, and
this year she is very encourag-
ed by the level of interest and
the willingness of the young
but experienced players to
commit themselves to working
hard. This year's goals for the
tennis team are to be unified,
to support one another, and to
improve the image of the team
around campus. The team's
fall schedule is very small,
with only about six or seven
matches scheduled. Their

PURPLE TIDE: THE MOOD IS OPTIMISM

by Angela Tonn

Agnes Scott's inter-
collegiate tennis team is
beginning the year with a
positive state of mind and, ac-
cording to the team's coach,
Cindy Peterson, the optimism
is justified. Coach Peterson
feels that each of the players
possesses the talent and the
potential to further that talent.
The team is made up of ex-
perienced players, each hav-
ing previously competed in
local and club tournaments.
This collective experience br-
ings much needed depth to the

team.

With experience, depth, and
positive attitudes in its favor,
the team has set a goal of be-
coming more of a threat in
their district. The players
understand the commitment
they must make to raise the
level of their games and the
coach believes they are truly
motivated to do so. Coach
Peterson says that the players
are driven by a pride in their
school and by a desire to
represent ASC at its best. By
becoming a more respected
tennis power, the team

perpetuates a positive, winn-
ing reputation for Agnes Scott.
The coach further explaines
that both she and the players
are very hopeful that the cam-
pus community will reward her
players for their hard work by
supporting the team and by at-
tending the matches.

The 1985-86 tennis team
players are: Mary Margaret
Krauth, Elisabeth Edwards,
Margaret Bell, Tracy Mac-
Mahon, Mitrina Mogelnicki,
Barbara Jenkins, Sarah
Jewett, Thao Tu, Vee Kimbrell,
and Jill Owens.

opening match was played at
home on October 2 against
Shorter College, and their next
home match is October 9.

As a coach, Cindy
Peterson's philosophy is to
maximize the potential of each
and every one of her players,
having winning as a goal, but
not as the primary goal. For
her, participation on an inter-
collegiate team is part of the
learning experience in the
liberal arts education provided
by Agnes Scott. However, our
athletic program needs the
support of the faculty, the
students, and the administra-
tion. There are not enough

coaches to fill the desired
positions of other teams such
as soccer, volleyball, and
cross country. Without these
coaches, our current athletic
program cannot improve.
Coach Peterson feels there is
a need for Physical Education
to be looked at as a feeder
system into the athletic
teams; the Physical education
requirements cannot be cut
down. As Coach Peterson put
it, "there is a lack of definition
of the role of Physical Educa-
tion in a liberal arts college; it
needs to be as important as
History, or Math, or any other
requirement."

SOCCER TEAM STARTS KICKING

by Pila

It was a wonderful surprise
to walk onto the soccer field
the first week of classes and
discover twenty Agnes Scott
students eager to play. Some
of us who showed up for prac-
tice and "tryouts" had played
last year, and still had in us
the fever to play. However,
what surprised me the rnost
was the number of freshmen
who were interested in play-
ing. I think the soccer spirit
has finally hit Agnes Scott
students, and it is here to stay
for a while. We have the peo-
ple, all we need now is to prac-
tice and to play.

The most valuable quality of
our soccer team is the big ef-

r Duque

fort everyone seems to be put-
ting into it. Every single player
is taking time from her studies
and other duties to make the
practices. Our coach, Ginny
Scott not only is a volunteer
coach, but she is also a can-
didate for a Ph.D., an instruc-
tor of French at Emory Univer-
sity, and a full time mother.

Although we have already
started practicing, I want to
encourange anyone who is in-
terested, to come out and play
with us. The soccer team prac-
tices Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday of every week. And
even if you are not a player but
would like to get involved, we
need YOUR support.

BUMP, SET, SPIKE. . . WW!

by Mary Carter Whitten

The newly formed Agnes
Scott volleyball team started
its season off with a bang on
Thursday, September 19
defeating Mercer of Atlanta
15-7, 15-4. All of the players
contributed with a series of
stunning serves and com-
pleted the kill with incredible
three hit combinations that
put the Mercer team on edge.

The mood of the evening
was teamwork as the team
pounded its way to victory.
Johna Wardman '87 opened
first for ASC, setting a prece-
dent of hard-to-return serves

that left Mercer breathless.
Sophomore Adele Clements
and Junior Angela Malone
followed suit racking up eight
plus points apiece from the
servers box. Defensively, Nan-
cy Arne '88, Carolyn Weaver
'89, and Sarah Copenhaver '88
produced sets that were a
spiker's dream and Dollie Pur-
vis '89. Mahrukh Mavalvala '88,
and Joan McGuirt '88 made
the most of such sets with in-
credible spikes, bumps, and
digs. Veteran seniors Nancy
Carter and Mary Carter Whit-
ten saved some of the trickier
plays while Mitrina Mogelnicki
'89, Hong Tran '87, and Lynli

Whisnant '89 drove their
bumps deep into Mercer's
backcourt.

The ASC volleyball team
would like to thank its
linespeople, Melissa Poulton
'88 and Sallie Humphries '87
for their expert calls,
scorekeeper Charlene
Johnson '86, clockkeeper
Angela Tonn '87, and timer
Beth Mullis '87 for their
dedication, the parents and
ASC spectators for their sup-
port, and finally Ms. McKemie
for her sponsorship. Be sure to

ERSKINE CALDWELL:

Telling The Southern Story

by Becky Moses

Last Friday, October 11th,
Agnes Scott proved once
again the value of a small col-
lege. Writers and interested
English majors were afforded
the rare opportunity of an in-
timate luncheon with renown-
ed Georgia writer Erskine
Caldwell. He agreed to do the
luncheon as part of a series he
is doing in coalition with The
Georgia Public Library
Systems. Author of "Tobacco
Road" and "God's Little Acre",
Caldwell answered numerous
questions about his writing
style, his perspective on
writing, his motives for
writing, and his own personal
life.

From the moment the
luncheon began, one thing
was clear. Erskine Caldwell is

a marvelous storyteller. He
pulls out anecdotes one after
another like a magician's
multi-colored handkerchief.
He tells tales as rich and alive
with Southern personality as
Chaucer's are with English.
They are stories of the Holy
Rollers, stories of the
barterers in the Cumberland
Gap, stories of dirt poor
farmers scraping through the
depression era.

It is part of the tradition he
calls "oral storytelling" that
he learned sitting at the
crossroads filling stations in
rural parts of the South. It is
this ancient craft to which he
attributes the origins of his
desire to write. Not, he insists,
to sitting in front of the televi-
sion. "It appeals to the lowest
common denominator of in-

telligence. Has to."

As a minister's son,
Caldwell travelled extensively
throughout the South during
his childhood and adolescenc-
ed, and was exposed to as
many different cultures and
religious variations as he was
landscapes. Each town provid-
ed a story, or a face, or a
character. And Erskine
Caldwell provided the insight
and creativity to weave them
into remarkable tapestries or
Southern life.

Caldwell spoke of his
longtime friend John
Steinbeck (They both suffered
Montezuma's Revenge
together in Mexico) and of his
one and only meeting with
William Faulkner. It seems
they vied for the attention of
Faulkner's pretty translator.

and wife entertain

He told of his adventures in
Hollywood screenwriting. "It's
the worst thing any writer
could ever do." He also spoke
of his book sales, curiously
high in Russia and Japan as
well as the United States. His

wife was cordial, gracious and
relaxed, and as full of intellec-
tual charm as is Caldwell
himself.

There was an aire about Mr.
Caldwell. It was the calm
assurance of a man who has

U. S. Supreme Court A Hindrance To Freedom?

by Heather Rogers

Dr. Jeremy Rabkin, a pro-
fessor at Cornell University
and a lecturer for the George
Mason Symposium on Civil
Liberties, spoke at Agnes
Scott College on Thursday
night, October 3. His lecture
posed the question "Would
We Be a Freer Country without
the Supreme Court?" His
answer was a conservative
"yes."

After an introduction by Pro-
fessor Cochran of the Political
Science department, Dr.
Rabkin presented his views for
fifty minutes. The crux of his
argument was that he does
not think a body such as the
Supreme Court should exist to
decide values for the whole
country because it en-
courages a refusal to com-
promise which is detrimental
to a free society.

Dr. Rabkin believes that the
Supreme Court's ability to rule
on moral issues undermines
our capacity to judge moral
issues for ourselves; the
Supreme Court is giving

issues such as abortion and
school prayer a right or wrong
answer when, Dr. Rabkin feels,
such an answer does not exist.
Dr. Rabkin said, "A free coun-
try means having some share
in shaping the collective
destiny of the country." He
believes that it is important for
people to learn to live with
each other despite their dif-
ferences; differences in opin-
ion should not be dissolved
by the Supreme Court
because a free society
should learn to tolerate dif-
ferences and promote com-
promise.

Dr. Rabkin believes that the
individual state Supreme
Courts rather than the United
States Supreme Court should
decide moral questions for
each individual state.

When Dr. Rabkin began his
forty minute question period
from an audience of about thir-
ty people, most of the people
did not understand how he
could rationalize discarding
the Supreme Court while keep-
ing the state Supreme Courts.

When asked if he would
abolish the Supreme Court if it
were in his power, Dr. Rabkin
answered negatively because
he believed too many people
would disagree. Dr. Rabkin
bluntly stated, "I don't think
the Supreme Court has made
any difference whatsoever in
the past forty years."

Yet Dr. Rabkin admitted to
liking a number of decisions

the Supreme Court has made.
He stated that the Supreme
Court was probably needed to
decide the national attitude
toward segregation. Never-
theless, Dr. Rabkin believes
the nation's attitude toward
segregation was changed
because of congressional
laws and not the Supreme
Court rulings. Furthermore, Dr.
Rabkin believes that it is

"ludicrous" to have the
Supreme Court define equali-
ty. His only comment on
equality is that he is against
slavery and believes no defini-
tion beyond that should be at-
tempted.

When asked her opinion on
Dr. Rabkin's lecture, Karen
Schultz said, "I enjoyed the
question, but his ideas are a
little too radical for me."

TO THE POINT

"If all Printers were determin'd
not to print any thing till they were
sure it would offend no body, there
would be very little printed/'

Benjamin Franklin

by Becky Moses

My mother told me once
that most architects are just
frustrated artists. (I have been
careful not to share this little
nugget in the vicinity of
Georgia Tech). I suppose most
people feel a similar way
about journalist, as opposed
to "real" writers; that
somehow journalism isn't
totally legitimate. And while I
must admit that Lewis Griz-
zard has not yet reached
Milton's stature, the two
writers serve different pur-
poses. The primary purpose of
journalism is to inform
readers. One of the primary
purposes of editorial jour-
nalism is to provide people
with an avenue for free
speech. Which brings me to
my point.

Last week's editorial, "Stu-
dent Concerned About Rep
Troubles" stirred alot of in-
terest and provoked some
question as to whether the
paper ought to print such a
controversial article
anonymously. Our decision to
print the article was made on
the following bases: 1) It was
an issue that the editorial staff
and the guest editorialist felt
need to be addressed, 2) The
article had been approved by
SGA President Ruth Feicht, 3)
It was not being printed as fac-
tual news, rather, as an
editorial opinion and 4) Those

interested could submit rebut-
tal editorials if they wished.

It is unfortunate that Walton
Press dropped Milo Scott's by-
line from the article during the
printing process. However,
may I take this opportunity to
direct your attention to the
Press Box in the lower left cor-
ner of this page. It contains a
disclaimer concerning
editorials and also states that
"names will be withheld upon
request." It will continue to be
the policy of the Profile to
publish editorials at the
discretion of the Editorial
staff, whether or not they have
requested the withholding of
the author's name. It is our in-
tention to inform, however,
and not to injure, and we will
edit accordingly. I sincerely
apologize to those who were
offended by the content of the
editorial. But I must insist that
we continue to uphold our con-
stitutional right to a free
press. It can only be to our
best interest in the end.

seen many things in his life,
told a great many stories and
heard a great many more. He
is like an enormous patchwork
quilt - hundreds of detailed
squares and scraps from
diverse places and times,
carefully sewn together over a
long period of time. And when
Erskine Caldwell opens his
mouth to say a story, that quilt
wraps himself around you and
warms you from the inside out.

and Picnic. We're sorry,
Monica!

Would the author of the
anonymous editorial of the Oc-
tober 4 issue please step for-
ward?! I am appalled that an
Agnes Scott student would
use such strong words and in-
sinuate such great failure of
duties without having the
courage to sign her name to
her claims. My name is "T2,"
treasurer, 1984-85 academic
year, Pam Tipton. I have no in-
tention of stirring more emo-
tion, I simply desire to set
some facts straight concern-
ing the treasury issue discuss-
ed in the editorial.

Some simple facts:

1. The assistant treasurer is
not chosen by the acting
treasurer but rather by a vote
from the entire Representative
Council. The council obviously
felt that "T3" could handle the
responsibilities since, if I
remember correctly, she won
the present position of
treasurer by an overwhelming
majority.

2. The spring allotment
check for SGA was picked up,
and deposited in the account.
Because I did not hand the
checkbook over to "T3" until a
week after she took office, the
process of receiving the allot-
ment check was delayed one
week.

3. The Meryl Lynch account
still has the name of "T1" on it
for a good reason. The 1983-84
Rep Council decided to buy
microwaves for the campus,
utilizing funds from the Meryl
Lynch account. The
microwave committee was
very slow to act, causing the
purchase date to run into the
1984-85 academic year.
Because "T1" had control of
the account and because a
transfer of signatures takes
several months, she was to
hold onto the Meryl Lynch ac-
count checkbook until the sup-
posed date of purchase. To
make a long story short, she
graduated in December 1984,
leaving the books with me at
that time; microwaves were
bought in January 1985; I left
office in March. With the
signature taking about three
months to transfer, the new
treasurer would have been in
office before my signature

SGA treasurer 1984-85

Senior Rep to

Rep Council 1985-86

Dear Editor:

It has come to my attention
that the anonymous editorial
concerning the SGA treasury
has caused needless alarm
among the members of the
student body. Statements
such as "the problems of the
SGA treasury add up to a hefty
loss running into the
thousands of dollars" are in-
deed alarming but fortunately
are totally false. Unfortunate-
ly, the writer of the editorial
did not know all the facts. As
treasurer of Student Govern-
ment I feel it is my duty to in-
form the student body of them.
I will start from the beginning.

SGA apparently never had
an adequate accounting
system. How the system sur-
vived as long as it did, I don't
know. When I got the books
they were a mess — not
because of incompetence on
the part of past treasurers, but
because of inadequacies in
the system itself. I have had
previous accounting ex-
perience, and when I saw the
books I knew something had
to be done immediately. I went
to Gerald Whittington, Vice
President of Business affairs,
for advice, and at his sugges-
tion Rep hired a CPA to audit
the old books and to help me
set up a totally new bookkeep-
ing system. The CPA and I are
currently working towards put-
ting the system on computers.

We have recently had some
confusion concerning the IRS.
Most student government
organizations and small non-
profit organizations do not file
tax returns. However, even
though you are not required to
file a return yet for some
reason in the past you have fil-
ed, you are required to con-
tinue filing forever. Some
years ago someone filed a
return for SGA. Last year's
treasurer did not realize that
we had ever filed and received
nothing from the IRS so she
made the logical assumption
that since other SGA organiza-
tions do not have to file we did
not have to file either. The IRS
sent us a letter informing us
that we must file. I gave the
tax forms to our CPA. The tax
form is now being sent to the
IRS along with a letter of
apology. It is doubtful that
anything more will come of

this.

It is true that some checks
were lost last spring as things
were being packaged up and
moved out of Rebekah. As
soon as Pam found them she
mailed them to me and I, of
course, deposited them. Since
some people closed out their
accounts at the end of May or
early June we were unable to
recover about $45. As far as I
know we currently have no
outstanding checks.

The editorial stated that
"the spring allotment for SGA
was never picked up and
deposited into their account."
This also is false. Of course I
picked it up and deposited it.
We could not have operated
without it.

I hope I have cleared up
some of the misconceptions
about the condition of the
SGA Treasury. If you hve any
additional questions feel free
to call me at ext. 694, come by
327 Winship, or drop a note In
box 67. 1 will be happy to
answer any questions you
might have.

Proudly signed,
Beth A. Carpenter
SGA Treasurer 85-86
"T3"

I am writing this letter
because I am concerned with
how our new freshmen feel
about our Honor System. I
realize that living by the Honor
Code is a whole new way of
life for incoming freshmen and
new students, but I do not
understand why our Honor
Court has to use scare tactics
to explain how the whole
system works. I live around
freshmen, and I hear what they
say, and it is not how "wonder-
ful" our system is. They say
"Is this against the Honor
Code?" And "Are we allowed
to study together?" I do not
understand why this has to be
so difficult! The Honor Code is
not an enemy, but the Honor
Court seems to have made it
extremely threatening. For
some reason the Honor Court
has not instilled a sense of
honor in our freshmen — but
rather, a sense of utter fear.

Sincerely,
Adlen Walker

Ghostwriter Clarifies Editorial, Commends '87

by Milo Scott

Before introducing the true
theme of my column, I would
like to take the time to clarify
some misperceived informa-
tion and include some omitted
material pertaining to my
previous column printed
anonymously in the editorial
section of the October 4 issue.

The most obvious omission
was that the publisher left off
the by-line by mistake. Then
after rereading the article yet
another time, I concluded that
the sentences "The books fell
into disrepair. The assistant
treasurer did not produce the
needed help, and so several
problems developed," placed
undue blame. After initially

reading this statement one
may conclude that I placed the
burden of failure on the assis-
tant treasurer. This is not the
message I had intended. My
thought was that the position
itself was not enough to
reform the past errors.

Finally, I would like to in-
form my readers that I am not
intimidated by any impending
ridicule or debate that my col-
umn might inspire. I regret that
I cannot reveal my true identity
because in so doing I would
unintentially bias my readers.

In regard to the latest
events of the ASC campus, I
would like to refocus your at-
tention and lead your memory
back to the anonymously sub-

Rep Rap

by Ruth Feicht and
Mary Carter Whitten

This week we thought we'd
provide all of those students
that are not familiar with
Robert's Rules of Order with
the following example of "of-
ficial writing ettiquette" for
proposals and such the like:

The authors of Rep Rap pro-
pose to inform the Student
Body of Agnes Scott College
that the following has taken
place in Rep Council:

WHEREAS: ASC students
begin to feel the pressure of
exams the weekend prior to
exams

BE IT RESOLVED: That the
library remain open on the Fri-
day night of the weekend prior
to exams. (Catalyst committee
did resolve this issue and it
will take effect this quarter.)

WHEREAS: Interdorm decid-
ed that there would be no
drinking lounges in the dorms
because not all of the dorms
had the requisite space, and

WHEREAS: Rep Council felt
that provisions must be made
for a designated drinking area,

mitted photograph with the
caption "catnapped" that was
pictured in the last issue of
the Profile. For those of you
who are clueless, several un-
named, enterprising juniors
removed the kitties from the
possession of certain seniors.
I'd like to take this chance to
say it's about time someone
got the ball rolling. My hat is
off to this innovative class. Ap-
parently, the seniors, who last
year so effectively won the
Black Kitty, required some pro-
mpting by the younger genera-
tion.

A determined group of
seniors set out to find the kitty
on last Saturday evening but
came up empty when the sun

rose on Sunday morning.
Frustrated by their attempts,
they resorted to mild threats
to force the disclosure of the
cats' whereabouts. Tuesday,
the juniors responded with in-
vitations to a mandatory Black
Cat recovery party, setting the
ransom at two cases of
longneck Budweisers and two
six-packs of Classic Coke.

The seniors arrived on time
with the required ransom and
were treated to pizza by the
culprits. Represented at the
party were the Black Cat
chairs for each class, plus
numerous members of the in-
famous "around-the world par-
ty." After a rousing hunt
through the tennis courts, the

President's front yard, and the
alumni pond, they rescued
their lost friends in the top of
Main tower.

The most wonderful thing
about this whole jaunt was
their spirit. I was also impress-
ed by their subtle yet effective
protests of Morter Board's
Black Cat changes. Several
references were made to the
"Kitty Killers" and the
"murderers of traditions," but
it was done in such a way that
it was highly efficacious.

The class of '87 has pro-
tested the action of Morter
Board without open rebellion.
Not only that, they proved that
their class spirit is alive and
well. Well done, class of '87!

GREAT SCOTT:

A Celebration Of Agnes Scott

by Louisa Parker

Great Scott! Day, Agnes
Scott's third annual open
house, will be held Saturday,
October 26. The main objec-
tive of Great Scott is to let our
community know more about
ASC and feel happier about
coming on campus. Its purely
non-academic purpose is to
entertain the community and
to give everyone a good time.
Thousands of invitations have
been sent out. "Usually so
many alumnae come to Great
Scott! that it almost becomes
an unofficial alumnae conven-
tion," explains Bill Weber,
member of the Great Scott'
committee.

Marilynn Mallory, head of
the RTC program and another

committee member, has plan-
ned a huge list of events.
Blackfriars is putting together
a haunted house. Many groups
are doing face painting. The
theatre department is having a
"grandmother's attic" where
they will share their costumes
and people can have their pic-
tures taken in time. There will
be a country store selling
crafts, a booksale, and pony
rides.

Of special interest to ASC
students are the dining hall's
roast pig, the student's oppor-
tunity to inspect a fire engine
and to get revenge for late-
night fire drills, Melissa
Cohenour's singing and
guitar-playing during lunch,

and a very special evening jazz
concert.

"The main difference bet-
ween this Great Scott! and
past ones is all the entertain-
ment that is centered in the
amphitheatre. "Jennifer
Cooper is responsible for
that," comments Dr. Weber.
The Dixie Darlings, Studio
Dance Theatre and the Agnes
Scott Community Orchestra
are all performing in the am-
phitheatre, instead of the
stage they performed on in the
past few years.

"The volunteer turn out has
been great. Alice Grass is in
charge of volunteers and has
done a super job," concludes
Dr. Weber.

Good Speaks On U.N. Conference

by Adlen Walker

On Wednesday, October 2,
Dr. Deirdre Good, chair of the
Bible and Religion Depart-
ment, gave a slide show
presentation in the Terrace
Dining Area. Her topic was the
U.N. Conference to Review
and Appraise the
Achievements of the U.N.
Decade for Women (1975-1985)
which was held July 15-26 in
Nairobi, Kpnya

The U.N. Conference is
something ALL women should
be accutely aware of-
especially we who attend all
women's college. In the
September / October issue of
The Southern Feminist, Dr.
Good said of the conference "I
prayed, laughed, sang, wept
and talked with women from
all over the world. Unlike other
conferences, my whole being
felt nurtured by this event. It is

a unique experience [that]
every woman should have the
opportunity to attend at least
once in her lifetime, preferably
with a sister, mother or
friend."

For more information on
this exciting conference, read
this month's Southern
Feminist, the upcoming edi-
tion of the Alumni Magazine,
and watch the Profile for a
more detailed follow-up story.

Students give blood during A. A. Blood Drive.

Athletic Association Sponsors Blood Drive

by Beth Brubaker

Were you one of the eighty-
two people who turned out for
the Athletic Association's
blood drive on October 3? If
not. why weren't you? If so,
many thanks! The American
Red Cross collected a total of
seventy-four prints of Agnes
Scott blood during the five
hour drive. Each class had a
high percentage turn out with
eighteen Freshman, seventeen
Sophomores. seventeen

Juniors and eleven Seniors
donating their time, energy
and BLOOD to the worthy
cause. Several faculty and
staff members (and even a few
alumnae) also were on hand to
give a pint.

If you missed out on all the
action— don't fret! There will be
another drive in early April, so
you have another chance! The
whole process of donating
blood takes about an hour and
includes a preliminary health

history interview, the actual
donation time (only about ten
minutes), and a post-donation
rest time to allow your body
fluids to resume a normal
level.

Before you make up an ex-
cuse not to give, stop and
think of the great need in the
community for blood donors
and the valuable service you
will be providing. Now. give
the gift of life and DONATE
BLOOD!

Security Report From Public Safety

As you may or may not have
heard by now, we are off to a
"rousing" start this school
year — but not on a positive
note! The following incidents
and issues have arisen in
these first three weeks of
school.

1. A Fire Drill scheduled for
Sept. 24th at Winship ( 9 0200
hrs) resulted in the discovery
that:

a. Simultaneous fire alarms
can go off — as was the case
with a malfunctioning smoke
detector "head" on the 2nd
floor of main at 0203 hrs.

b. Fire "buddies" were not
assigned to every resident of
Winship (i.e. none for the
Senior Resident who was not
awakened by the "drill")

c. Evacuation was not com-
plete — as it should have
been, drill or not!

2. An "attempted rape" oc-
cured near Church and Maple
Streets (between E. Trinity and
the R.R. Underpass) after 11
p.m. on Saturday 9/28th —
when a student of A.S.C. was
accosted and nearly abducted
into a vehicle while walking
back from MARTA without
escort or companionship.

a. One quarter (25c) and one
minute would have given her a
opportunity to call Public
Safety (371-6355) from MARTA
for an escort back to compus.

3. Another student's vehicle
was broken into (right vent
window) and a "Dolby Stereo"
Radio was removed from the
dash while the vehicle was
parked in the NW corner of the
Hopkins Parking Lot between
Sunady 9/29 (after 10 p.m.) and
Monday 9/30 morning.

a. These items are highly

targeted for theft due to their
value and popularity. If you
must have one, invest in an
auto "Burglar — Alarm" as
well to ward off the potential
thief.

Please heed these warnings
as Pro-Active Preveniton is the
goal for a safe and secure
campus and WE NEED YOUR
HELP to accomplish it!

Up To Their Scalps in Hares

San Bernardino, CA
(CPS)— Officials at CAI State-
San Bernardino have con-
sidered everthing from install-
ing electronic noise devices to
spraying the grounds with hot
sauce to drive away hordes of
wild rabbits that are devouring
campus greenery.

"Nobody has anything
against them, but they do hop
all over campus and chew up
the vegetation," explains
Robert Lohnes, San Bernar-
dino's assistant director of
plant operations.

"It's impossible to come on-
to campus and not notice
them running around," he
says. "They co-mingle with
students, they drink out of the
campus water (hoses), and
they love to uproot our grass."

Indeed, "this is a very dry,
arid region of the state, " says
Jerry Rosen, spokesman for
the San Bernardino Humane
Society, "and the lush, green
campus is probably very at-
tractive to the rabbits."

Urban sprawl has driven the
hares out of their natural

grasslands and forced them to
feed off of local lawns and gar-
dens, including the spacious
San Bernardino campus,
Rosen says.

The same rural development
has pushed out much of the
other wildlife that once preyed
on the rabbits, causing a
tremendous increase in the
bunny population, adds
Lohnes.

"Coyotes used to keep the
number of rabbits down," he
says, "but the area has built
up so much that the predators
have left, and the rabbits have
it all to themselves. And they
do proliferate you know."

Campus officials have been
searching for a way to get the
rabbits off campus without
hurting them or interfering
with the local ecosystem,
Lohnes says.

"But so far, every option has
either been flatly denounced
by environmentalists or too ex-
pensive, or both."

At one time officials even
considered dousing the cam-
pus greenery with hot sauce to

make it distasteful to the rab-
bits.

"Well, there's certainly plen-
ty of hot sauce here in Sou-
thern California," jokes the
Humane Society's Rosen.
"And burning the bunnies'
palates would certainly be
preferable to using traps or
poison to control them."

But officials later ruled out
the hot sauce method because
"it would be too expensive and
only drive the rabbits into so-
meone else's yard," says
Lohnes.

"As of now, we still don't
have any authority to touch
the rabbits or do anything that
would affect area wildlife,"
Lohnes says. "So right now
you could just say we're prac-
ticing peaceful co-existance."

"But the ultimate solution is
one that probably will never
happen," he says. "And that's
for us to be responsible
enough to set aside areas
that won't become parking
lots and shopping centers,
where the rabbits and other
wildlife can live."

Junior Year Abroad: Students
Socialize and Study in Europe

by Kim Mitchell

Every year, Agnes Scott of-
fers its juniors an opportunity
to live and study outside of the
United States. Through the
Junior year Abroad (JYA) Pro-
grams, interested students
may attend school in another
country for up to a year.

Last year, six students from
Agnes Scott participated in
these programs. Three of
these students went to Ger-
many, two to France and one
to Italy.

Anna Cheshire, Josie
Gilcrist, and Shawn Mucklow
went to Marburg, West Ger-
many during their junior year.
They transferred to
Millersville, a school in
Pennsylvania, and went from
there to Germany as exchange
students through a program at
that school. In Germany, the
women studied a Philipps
University in Marburg. All
three are German majors,
while Shawn is also a
mathematics major, and Anna
a history major.

The main reasons that they
went to Germany were to ex-
perience the German culture
on a firsthand basis, to
broaden their horizons, and to
develop more fully their sense
of independence. Obviously,
there were many cultural dif-
ferences. Foremost, they were
"distanced from all of their
security blankets", such as
family, friends, ASC-even pets.

Once past the initial
homesickness and language
barrier, they found that they
were well liked and accepted

by the native Germans,
although some Germans were
critical of the American
political situation, especially
of Reagan. Even so, they each
developed deep friendships,
and coming back to the States
was not easy. "You develop
differently from others; you'll
never be the same," they
reflected. When asked if they
had any advice to those con-
sidering JYA, the overwhelm-
ing response was "GO!" And if
they had any regrets, "If you
stay here, you'll always regret
it— if you go, you never will."

Joanie McRae spent her
junior year in France. She is a
French major and has had four
years of French. Her goal in
going to France for a year was
to submerge herself complete-
ly in not only the language, but
the French culture as well. She
went to Paris through a pro-
gram at Sweet Briar College
with a group of 120 female
American students. Along
with her two roommates,
Joanie stayed with a French
widow in the middle of Paris.

Although she feels that she
spent too much time with
Americans, she admits that
sometimes she would even
avoid Americans in order to
more intimately learn French.
Homesickness soon gave way,
and she began to piece
together an understanding of
the French people. According
to Joanie, her experience in
France has "opened up my
mind; I see things differently
now." She would like to return
to France after graduation and

live there. Her advice to travell-
ing students is to "stay away
from Americans and learn
French!"

Through Bryn Mawr College
Barbara Caulk also went to
France for two months, but
she decided that that was not
long enough, so she returned
on her own for two quarters
through the Institute for
American Universities. There
in the port city of Toulon, Bar-
bara studied economics at the
university of Toulon. She
stayed in a woman's home and
made many lasting friend-
ships.

Of the entire experience,
Barbara says, "I loved it." As a
rule, she was treated well, ex-
cept for a few natives who
were "sick of foreigners." At
first, she had the attitude that
she would "do my two months
foreign study like a good
French major," but her ex-
perience changed that. Now
Barbara wants to return to
France and work there. "I
adopted so many ideas and
learned so many things."

Any language student con-
sidering spending their junior
year abroad should get more
information either from their
professors or David Behan in
the Dean's office. As a once in
a lifetime opportunity, the JYA
program proves to be worthy
of time and effort.

Susan Vargas, who spent
the year in Italy, could not be
reached for comment at this
time and will be featured in the
next issue.

Jeannie Lucie — French Assistant.

Parlez-vous Fransais ?

by Beverly Garcia

On ASC's campus this fall is
one 23 year old who could by
her young looks and ap-
pearance be mistaken for just
another student. Jeanne Lucie
Fourneyron is a Language
Assistant for the French
Department this year. She will
make Atlanta her home for the
remainder of the school year
and return to her home in
Paris, France soon after this
school session.

Born and raised in Paris Ms.
Fourneyron has quickly
become somewhat accustom-
ed to America. This is her very
first visit to the United States
and has thus far enjoyed the
opportunity to learn about our
culture and make new friends.
When asked how Atlanta or
the U. S. compares to Paris
she laughs and says, "There is
no comparison!" She proceed-
ed to explain how Europeans
mistakenly perceive the U. S.
as "wild."

Even though she has only
been in Atlanta four weeks she
has managed to keep busy.

She traveled to North Carolina
for a rafting expedition early
this school year. Ms.
Fourneyron is a gradute from
the Sorbonne University in
Paris, where she majored in
history. As of yet she is not
quite sure of what the future
holds in store. She would like
to further her studies and
perhaps earn a doctorate in
the U.S. throughout later
years. Thus far she enjoyed
teaching at ASC. She teaches
two classes a week in In-
termediate and Conversa-
tional French. Ms. Fourneyron
is also in charge of organizing
this year's activities for the
French Club. In order to in-
volve everyone in learning
about French culture the club
is planning a French breakfast
for everyone on October 24.
They are also planning other
activities such as sponsoring
French movies. Talking to Ms.
Fourneyron was in itself a lear-
ning experience and a wor-
thwhile task. Her good nature
is evident and she is obviously
enjoying her first year in the U.
S., especially here at ASC.

Senior Job Search Series

The Senior Job Search
Series was another highlight
of CP&P's fall activities. The
series consisted off four
workshops designed to pro-
vide seniors and any other in-
terested students with infor-
mation which would prove
useful in their career search.

The opening workshop ad-
dressed the dilemma of choos-
ing between beginning work or
attending graudate school
upon graduation. Faculty
members, Ayse Carden, John
Pilger and Katherine Kennedy
discussed options with area
professionals. A video tape of
this program is available at
the main desk of the career
library.

Other topics addressed in
following workshops included:
interview preparation, tips on
how to "Dress for Success,"
"Marketing Yourself Effective-
ly," resume writing, and orien-
tation on On-Campus recruit-
ment.

In addition, resume clinics

have been conducted
throughout October. The final
clinic will be offered on
Wednesday, October 30, from
4 to 5 p.m. in Winship lobby.

INTERNSHIPS, PART-TIME
JOBS, MOCK INTERVIEWS

On Line Registration:
A First at ASC . . .

by Pilar Duque

This fall, for the first time in
the history of Agnes Scott,
registration was done through
a computer.

On Tuesday, September 10,
new students met with their
advisors, filled out schedule
sheets which were entered in-
to a computer system, and
then promptly received their
schedules. Registration was
complete.

On Wednesday, returning
students with scheduling con-
flicts had their problems solv-
ed and their schedules printed
while they waited right in line.

On Thursday, Drop/Add
period started; any student
who for some unimaginable
reason wished to drop or add a
class, could do so and await
the results, which were printed
immediately!

What exactly does on line
mean, and what sort of special
preparations had to be made
for this? I had the opportunity
to talk with Rob Thies, the man
who made on-line registration
possible, and he answered
these questions, and more.

On line means being able to
give information to the com-
puter, and getting immediate
feedback. In this case, the stu-
dent's desired courses were
fed into the computer, and in
return the computer produced
the student's schedule. This
on line registration not only
allows the student to get her
schedule immediately, but it
also enables the person doing
the registering to check for
any possible red tags the stu-
dent may have.

In order to be able to
register students via the com-
puter, all information about
every student and every
course on campus had to be
entered. For the students, in-
formation including name,
nickname, address, and
classification, was necessary.

For the courses, a three
phase process was employed:
first, a complete catalogue
had to be entered. Then, the
courses to be taught in the fall
had to be selected from that
catalogue, and finally, the sec-
tions to be offered for each
course had to be selected. For

direct).

Staff

The professional staff con-
sists of one full-time, and one
part-time nationally certified
nurse practitioners — Mrs.
Rosemary Kriner, Director, and
Ms. Patricia Murray. Nurse
practitioners are registered

nurses who have acquired ad-
ditional education and skills
which enable them to evalute
and care for certain types of

each course, it was necessary
to know the professor, the
location, where, how the
amount of credit hours it is
worth, and what pre-requisites
and co-requisites were re-
quired for it.

On-line registration has
many advantages, such as the
immediate access to prere-
quisite requirements, instruc-
tor or dean approval, special
course restrictions, and time
conflicts. It also allows to wait

evaluation and possible treat-
ment of minor problems and
also when general or specific
female health information is
desired.

Acute problems may be
referred either to the Medical
Director or the consulting
gynecologist.

Special services such as
routine pelvic and breast ex-
aminations, Pap tests, treat-
ment of minor vaginal infec-
tions, fitting diaphragms,
prescribing of oral contracep-
tives, pre-marital counseling,
and general gynecologic
counseling are available by ap-
pointment only. These ser-
vices are offered on Wednes-
day or Thursday, 12:30 p.m. to
2:30 p.m. in the Student Health
Center and are provided by the
consulting gynecologist, Dr.
Warren Somerlot. Services are
available by appointment only
which may be scheduled by
calling the Student Health
Center.

There is no fee for the
visit(s). A fee is charged for
laboratory tests, such as the
Pap test. Prescriptions for
medication may be filled at a
pharmacy of choice and this
expense is borne by the stu-
dent.

On the morning when
classes began, professors
were able to pick up the
schedules at eight in the morn-
ing, because the computer had
printed them the night before.

When asked what he
thought about the first on-line

registration, Rob said: "It was
super; it really was," (as he
patted his back) "so many
things could have gone wrong
and didn't." The success he at-
tributed to those in Registrar's
Office who did a great job in
entering and verifying informa-
tion, the computer software
which performed the way it
was supposed to, to the ac-
curate anticipation of pro-
blems and the correct set up
of the system.

"Dancing In the Street

99

by Beverly Garcia

Friday, October 4, ASC
students enjoyed the tradi-
tional Fall Street Dance, spon-
sored by Orientation Council.
The band which provided the
evening's entertainment was
Wrecking Crew, a local top
40's band. Gentlemen from
nearby colleges were impor-
ted for this festive occasion,
though there were some im-
postors, possibly from
Decatur High School. Though
alcohol was supplied, few
were able to truly indulge due

to the "new and improved"
state drinking laws. Those go-
ing through the dreadful
withdrawal symptoms were
easy to spot. The display of
freshman underwear was a
successful prank and one
which our male visitors found
amusing if not helpful in
meeting new Scotties and fin-
ding dates. Overall the dance
was a great place to have a
good time with friends. It end-
ed at 11:00 pm, giving those
daring souls amoung us an ex-
cuse to party more afterwards.

pamphlets and tapes are
available on a loan basis.

These materials can be
utilized by students to in-
crease their knowledge about
positive health practices,
thereby promoting responsible

living for a happier, healthier
life. Come browse.

please call or come by. We
welcome any comments or
suggestions for health pro-
grams and other services.

"A Chorus Line"

Comes To Civic Center

By popular demand, Broad-
way's longest running stage
production, "A Chorus Line,"
will return to Atlanta on Tues-
day, October 15th for a one
week engagement at the
Atlanta Civic Center.

This dazzling salute to
chorus line hopefuls will
feature the National Touring
Company, including Donna
McKechnie who recreates her
Tony Award winning role of
Cassie.

"The demand for the return
of 'A Chorus Line' has been
overwhelming since its last
engagement here in 1982,"
stated Christopher B. Manos,
producer of Theater of the
Stars. "Atlantans have really
adopted this spectacular
presentation of dance and
song, which incidentally earn-
ed nine Tony Awards and a
Pulitzer Prize."

"A Chorus Line" was con-

ceived and choreographed by
Michael Bennett and written
by Nicholas Dante and James
Kirkwood. With a musical
score by Marvin Hamlisch, the
show is staged like an audi-
tion. Twenty-four dancers are
trying out for eight openings in
the chorus line of an upcom-
ing musical. The director sizes
them up, immediately cuts
their number to 17 and then in-
vites the rest to step forward,
one by one, and tell him
something true about
themselves. This they do, tell-
ing stories that range from
broken homes to offbeat
lifestyles to dreams of glory
sparked by the Moira Shearer
dance film "The Red Shoes."
Finally, the director rejects all
but four boys and four girls.
The others pack up their
rehearsal clothes and their
hopes for another audition.

Szechwan: Oriental Style
For American Tastes

by Thea Mayne

As the time for Blackfriars
production of The Good Per-
son of Szechwan quickly ap-
proaches, the cast and stage
crew continue to prepare.
Every weeknight from
7:15-10:30 the actors and ac-
tresses meet in the Winter
Theater. Becky Prophet, who
is directing the play, calls
everyone to the stage. Ms. Pro-
phet leads the troupe in warm
up excercises for the body and
voice. After everyone is
loosened up, the actual prac-
tice begins.

The cast of The Good Per-
son of Szechwan is unique in
that there are a lot of women
and few men. The actual script
of The Good Person of
Szechwan calls for the cast to
be about evenly split in sexes,
but Ms. Prophet converted to a
number of roles in order to use
more qualified ASC students.
As rehearsals continue one
takes note that this is no or-
dinary production. Ms. Pro-
phet decided to do the play in
an Asian style adapted for
American tastes. This means
that the actors and actresses
act as stagehands and all the
movement of props and shif-
ting of scenery will be seen by
the audience. Much of the set-
ting of the play is depicted in
symbolic form. An example of
this is that instead of rain, the
actors not actively involved in
the scene will hold long rib-
bons to represent rain. In this
form the audience will get the
true flavor of the play.

Besides the nightly prac-
tices the preparation for the
play continues during the day.
The theater laboratories are
building sets that Dudley
Sanders, instructor in theater,
designed. In center stage
there is a revolve, a platform
on wheels on which more than
one scene can be placed. To
change from one scene to
another, the revolve is turned
around. In addition to the
nightly practices, the costume
crew, which is making twenty-
eight costumes, continues to
work outside of rehearsal. This
crew is headed by Jeanine
Dwinell and Meg Bryant. Pro-
perties are being both found
and made by Ansley Scoville
and Jeannine Pope. The pro-
perties crew must make the
ribbons for rain and the carry-
ing pole for water buckets, but
they must find lamps and
writing utensils appropriate to
the mythical Chinese setting
in a fictitious 1930's time
span.

The combination of the
ideas, the cast, and the
technical designers and crews
is bound to make this produc-
tion of The Good Person of
Szechwan special. Perfor-
mances will be held in the
Winter Theater of the Dana
Fine Arts Building, at 8:15 p.m.
on October 31, November 1, 2,
7, 8 and 9. The Blackfriars have
instituted regular Thursday
night performances. This pro-
vides the Agnes Scott College
Community with more options
of times to see this produc-
tion.

will be on view at the High
Museum of Art from October 9
through January 19, 1986 in
the exhibition Emile Galle:
Color and Texture In Glass.
The thirty pieces in the exhibi-
tion, dating from 1874 to 1904,
were given to the High
Museum in 1984 by Mr. and
Mrs. Sergio Dolfi of Atlanta.

Emile Galle was one of the
most prolific and influential
glass artists working in
Europe during the last quarter
of the 19th century. Working
predominantly in the Art

Nouveau style, he drew his
motifs from nature and was
known for the subtly changing
colorations in his work.

A gallery talk will be held on
Sunday, December 8 at 2:00
p.m. led by Sergio Dolfi, who
donated these pieces to the
High Museum. The tour begins

Actresses Bring Power To "Agnes of God

5?

by Elizabeth Mullis

Jane Fonda. Meg Tilly. Anne
Bancroft. Those names alone
are rather auspicious; collec-
tively, they're powerful. And
director Norman Jewison
knew what he was doing when
he cast these three inspiring
women in Columbia Pictures 1
"Agnes of God."

Adapted from the John
Pielmeier screenplay, the
story has expanded from a
one-scene, scantily furnished
stage production to a full-
fledged, enthralling cinematic
masterpiece.

"Agnes of God" presents
the story of a young, innocent,
naive nun who has been ac-
cused of murdering a baby she
unknowingly bore. The film br-
ings to light the drastic dif-
ferences between the guarded
world of this young nun and
the unleashed world that ex-
ists beyond her convent walls.
Within the exploration of
these differences questions
about faith, truth, miracles,
and God arise. Answers are
neither preachy nor implausi-
ble, but rather, are left to the
individual interpretation of
each viewer.

Jane Fonda plays the
court-appointed, forensic
psychiatrist, Martha Liv-

Meg Tilly and Jane Fonda in "Agnes of God."

ingston, who must determine
Agnes' mental condition. At
first, skeptical of the situation
and vehemently opposed to
the idea of immaculate con-
ception, Livingston becomes
sympathetic to Agnes and her

simple, nurtured way of life.

Fonda comes across in her
usual headstrong manner, yet
this is appropriate for the role.
She has crafted a very respec-
table character in Livingston.
Her intelligence and sincerity

shine through, yet she allows
herself vulnerability and doubt
that aid to create the pro-
vocative questions that arise.

But Meg Tilly is the star of
this film. She has captured
that primieval innocence that

makes Agnes such a
believable character. Tilly has
managed to present the con-
flict of the complexities of
Agnes' mind with the simplici-
ty of her exterior without los-
ing the precarious balance
between the two. This superb
joy represents the best of her
work (including roles in "The
Big Chill" and "Psycho II." She
just may win her first Oscar for
this one.

Anne Bancroft, as the
Mother Superior of Agnes'
covenant, has managed to
turn a potentially flat
character into a dynamic por-
trayal. She has beautifully
combined dogmatic resolve
with bubbly humor and biting
sarcasm to create a character
that is touchingly human.

The film, as a whole, is com-
pelling. Each scene has been
so carefully executed by
Jewison (whose work can also
be seen in "The Cincinatti
Kid" and Oscar-award-winning
"In The Heat of the Night")
that each minute is filled with
tension that feeds the ap-
prehension of the audience.
"Agnes of God" is a powerful,
thought-provoking film that
will most likely dominate this
year's movie-going season.

Academy Opens Season

With World Premiere

The Academy Theatre pro-
udly presents the first produc-
tion of its 1985-86 First Stage
New Play Series, Barbara
Lebow's The Adventures of
Homer McGundy. A peculiar
Western that will leave your
funny bones smoking, the play
is about the wild and wooly
days of Oklahoma expansion,
travelling freak shows and
Hollywood singing cowboys.
Full of surprises and unex-
pected twists and turns, this
world premiere opens October
17 and runs through November
3. Performances are
Thursdays through Saturdays
at 8 p.m., with Sunday
matinees at 3 p.m.

pleted. The seven actors, play-
ing a total of 15 roles, are John
Liles, Judy Cole, Stefano Mag-
gadino, Michael Maschinot,
Winslow Thomas, Gregg
Wallace and Dan Wehr.

Lebow comments on writing
for ensemble: "It is both a
privilege and a joy to be work-
ing with a group of actors com-
mitted to stretching
themselves and exploring with
me new ways of expressing
themselves and com-
municating with the
audience."

Barbara Lebow's associa-
tion with the Academy Theatre
began in 1964 when she
started writing as a member of
the Academy's Developmental
Workshop. Since then, over 20
of Lebow's plays have been
produced at the Academy and
elsewhere. In fact, this season

Great Scott! promises to be
particularly pleasing to those
of us who love the arts. There
will be performances in the
amphitheatre (yes, it's finally
being recognized as a
beautiful setting for
something other than fried
chicken) beginning at 11:15
with the Dixie Darlings, Agnes
Scott's own clogging team,
and coming to a romantic
close with a sunset jazz con-
cert featuring the Lake Jazz
Band from 5:00 to 7:00.

All dance lovers will want to
be sure to catch the Dixie Darl-
ings and a 12:30 performance
by Studio Dance Theatre.
Those of you who are longtime
fans of the company will not
want to miss the restaging of
"Southern Comfort" and last

year's award-winning
"Discovery."

Agnes Scott's musical
talent will also be on display.
London Fog, our very own jazz
vocal ensemble, will perform
at 11:45 and again at 4:00. The
Agnes Scott Community Or-
chestra will perform at 2:00, of-
fering a different sort of enter-
tainment which all music
lovers are sure to find inspir-
ing. Following that at 2:00, an
A.S.C. freshman Melissa
Cohenour will play her guitar
and sing. Two bands from off
campus will also participate in
Great Scott. The Possum Trot
Band will perform bluegrass at
1:00 and 40's music at 3:30.
The Lake Jazz Band will per-
form from 5:00 to 7:00 in a
sunset jazz concert which pro-
mises to be a romantic end to
an exciting day.

When you want a break from
the amphitheatre, you can
take advantage of a pottery
demonstration by Jay Bucek

On September 26, auditions
were held for Studio Dance
Theatre. Although the decision
was tough, the current
members of Studio Dance
chose five apprentices for the
1985-86 season. They are
Sarah Napier, Stacy Akerman,
Rebecca Bradley, Paige Floyd,
and Gwendolyn Palmer.

Gwendolyn, a freshman
from Tallahassee, Florida,
took jazz in high school and is
currently a member of Chimo.

After 10 years of training as
a gymnist, Stacy joined the
Gus Giordana Dance Center.
For two years she studied jazz,
tap, ballet and modern. The
following year she performed
in two dance concerts in New
York City and attended Sarah
Lawrence where she con-
tinued her study of modern
and ballet.

From Macon Georgia, Paige
took classes at the Dance Arts
Studio directed by Jean
Weaver. She has taken ballet
since age three, jazz since age
7 and pointe since age 9. She
remarks that she is looking
forward to participating in

Studio dance as it is teaching
her "a new method of modern
dance that I really enjoy."

Sarah has studied dance for
9 years and worked seriously
with Robert Archard, Terrel
Paulk, Stanly Zompakos, Ruth
Mitchell, Patsy Bromly, and
Gary Harrison. She danced in
Robert Archard's City Center
Company for three years. She
has also attended summer
programs with the Houston
Ballet, The North Carolina
School of the Arts, and the Pen-
nsylvania Youth Ballet. "I am
thrilled to be a member of
Studio Dance because I want
to get a good education as
well as continue dancing. I
think Studio Dance is a unique
opportunity because the com-
pany's philosophy combines
the intensity and dedication it
takes to be a part of a com-
pany with the importance of
academics and campus life."

Rebecca also began danc-
ing at an early age and has
danced with the School of
American Ballet, the National
Academy of Arts, The Atlanta
Ballet and has studied under
Danilova, Stanley Williams,

making demonstration by Lee
Staven from 4:00 to 4:30. On
your way over to Dana, you
might pause in the courtyard
to view an art show and sale or
wander through the Robert
Hild Exhibit inside.

If you have children to enter-
tain (or would like to pamper
the child within yourself),
Blackfriars has just what you
are looking for. The back of
Winter Theatre will be
transformed into a Haunted
House for the day. Meanwhile,
if you or a young friend are in
the mood to play dress-up,
Grandma's Attic will be open
in a rehearsal room off the
courtyard. The Blackfriars will
also be painting the faces of
anyone who would like a new
look for Black Cat.

Great Scott! will offer you a
wonderful opportunity to sup-
port the arts of Agnes Scott.
Don't miss it! Do yourself a
favor, and celebrate life with
us! You will be so glad you did.

Gus Giordano, Peter Busman,
Robert Dicello, Robert Barnett
and Jennifer Donahue to name
a few. "Dance is very impor-
tant to me," says Rebbeca,
"however, I do not wish to
make it a career. Being in
Studio Dance allows me to
keep dance in my life as well
as broaden my education. I
always hope we as the
dancers appreciate what our
small company is giving us.
Warmth, freedom, and a
chance to share these with our
friends."

We would like to thank all
those who auditioned and to
urge those who didn't make it
to reaudition winter quarter.
Also, all artists who wish to
submit an entry to the annual
logo contest please submit it
to Mrs. Darling or Box 533 by
October 31. The winner of the
contest will receive a free
t-shirt and a monetary award.

Photographic Essay At Emory

Schatten Gallery in Emory
University's Woodruff Library
will present an exhibit titled
"Scientists in Atlanta: A
Photographic Essay" October
20 through December 1. This
collection of photographs is a
one-man show by professional
photographer Stephen Cord.

Cord spent the last year
photographing scientists in
the Atlanta a r ea from such in-
stitutions as Georgia State
University, the Georgia In-
stitute of Technology, Emory
University, the Centers for
Disease Control, Yerkes
Regional Primate Center and

Bell Laboratories.

In the portraits, Cord at-
tempts to show visually the
facination and excitement of
science. Says Cord, "The
show is not factual documen-
tary. It's more science fiction
— my fantasy of what science
is."

Cord's photographs have
appeared in a number of
publications, including
Newsweek, the New York
Times Magazine, Sports Il-
lustrated, Atlanta Magazine
and the Atlanta Journal / Con-
stitution. His work has ap-

peared in the Atlanta Gallery
of Photography, the Nexus
Gallery, the Museum of the Ci-
ty of Rome, Italy, the Columbia
Museum of Art and Science,
South Carolina and the Atlan-
ta University Woodruff
Memorial Library, among
others. Cord is represented by
Fay Gold Gallery in Atlanta.

Schatten Gallery hours are
Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. -12
midnight, Saturday from 8
a.m. -10 p.m. and Sunday from
1-10 p.m. The exhibit is free
and open to the public. For
more information, call

The course of true love does not run smooth in Oscar
Wilde's hilarious satire "The Importance of Being
Earnest," opening Oct. 16 and running through Nov. 16
at the Alliance Theatre. This "trivial comedy for serious
people" (as Wilde himself described it) is a masterpiece
of impudence and nonsense, deceptions and preten-
sions, manners and ill-manners, and absurdly mistaken
identity. For ticket and information, call 892-2414.

Students, Faculty, Staff Play "Volleyball For Fun

55

by Pilar Duque

It was one of those boring
Wednesday nights when there
is nothing to do. "Study"
somebody suggested; but
Nah! We'd been doing that for
too long. We HAD to do
something different. Had it
been Monday, "Scarecrow and
Mrs. King" would have been
the logical choice, just like
"Miami Vice" would have been
the choice on a Friday night.
But it was Wednesday. Sud-
denly we remembered that a
volleyball game against the
faculty and staff was schedul-
ed for that night, and we
figured that since we at AA
had scheduled it, we might as
well show up, but we never im-
agined the treat we were in for.

Ms. McKemie was feeling
very official that night, and
she brought out the controls
for the electronic scoreboard.
This was for real!

Connie Jones showed up
with her dog, and Harry
Wistrand came with Penny,
who decided that it was too
quiet inside, and proceeded to

make the poor dog bark
viciously. Then the air horn on
the scoreboard went off
(magically helped by so-
meone), and in between the
dog's barks, and the horn's
noise, people started comm-
ing in.

Kay from Accounting, Mar-
cia from the President's office,
and Coach Peterson looked
like they were ready for the
Olympics!

Naturally, we the students
were scared. THEY looked too
serious (except for Penny of

course), when all of a sudden
Rob Thies showed up! We
knew then that we could beat
them. Surely Rob and Penny
could keep their team
laughing (at them), while we
scored points.
What nobody had an-

ticipated was that so many
students, and not nearly as
many faculty and staff would
show up. Therefore, in order to
let everyone play a fair amount
of time, we mixed the
teams by letting the faculty
and staff team have some of
"ours". That's what saved
them; otherwise we would
have killed them.

But we'll have our chance!
In about two weeks, we'll do it
again, and maybe this time
more faculty and staff will
show up so that we can have
our moment of glory.

The student turn out was
great, although we could have
used some cheerleaders.
However, those who par-
ticipated started earning
points for their class in the AA
Cup contest.

It certainly was a terrific
Wednesday night. Too bad all
Wednesdays can't be the
same; too bad we have to
study; too bad we have to write
papers; too bad we have to
take tests; Volleyball is so
much FUN!!!!!!!!!!

A. S. Kickers Tie First Game

Thrills And Spills : Rafting '85

This year the Athletic
Association wants YOU to get
involved! And its so simple!
Just get out there and do your
thing — (walk, bike, jump rope,
sky dive, chop trees).

Then get to the Gym, find
your name in the AA Log Book
and check off the activity.
Everytime you excercise you

earn points for your class, and
the class with the most points
WINS THE CUP at the end of
the year. AA will tally up points
every two weeks and you can
check the results in the paper
(of course this point system
will be based on the number of
students in each class).

So get out there and start

by Pilar Duque

On Tuesday, October 9, the
A.S. Kickers (Agnes Scott's
soccer team) played their first
game of the season against a
team from a Dekalb county
league: Blue United.

The game was a tough one,
but one thing was quite ob-
vious to all of us; WE PLAYED
PRETTY WELL! ! Granted, a tie
is not a win, and only one goal
was scored per team, but the
passes and shots at the goal
were good, and the team-work
was excellent.

Those people who had the
opportunity of seeing us play
last year, as well as yesterday,
all commented on the fact that
we were much improved:
about 500 percent!

The first half hour was pro-
bably the hardest one, since
the other team felt much more
confident than we did. and
took many more shots at the

goal. However, an excellent
job by our goalie Sharon
Hargrave prevented them from
scoring on several occasions.

But Sharon wasn't the only
one to stop them from scoring
a goal, because thanks to our
full-backs Karen King, Eleanor
Dill, and Aimee Peeples, most
of the time they couldn't even
get close. Great defense!

If the defense was good, so
was the offense. Playing half-
back were Gretchen Pfeifer,
Tuba Goksel, Kathy Makee,
and Natalie Whitten, who not
only helped the defense, but
were constantly aiding the at-
tack with great passes.

And last but not least, the
three forwards who were con-
stantly rotating looking for
that small hole in their
defense that was going to
allow us to score, need to be
congratulated too, since it
was thanks to their efforts that

"It was fantastic!"an ex-

claimed in reference to the se-
cond annual Agnes Scott raf-
ting expedition. Adele, along
with forty other students,
faculty and staff, boarded a
bus at 7;30 a.m. on September
28th and headed north to the
Nantahala River in North
Carolina for a fun-filled day of
thrills, chills, and a couple of
spills.

Although the water was a lit-
tle cool, the sky was clear and
the river was just right;
perfect for fall rafting. Ex-

Arrangements are now be-
ing made to form a cross coun-
try team! One organizational
meeting has already been held
but don't despair. . .you can
still sign up in Ms. Manuel's
office. The program will begin
immediately with interested

perienced sports-persons
maneuvered their own crafts
about the river while those
less accustomed to rapids and
rocks floated happily about
with guides. The thrills were
many as the Agnes Scott
crews mastered the river and
so were the chills and spills
when some learned to chart
the Nantahala the hard way:
under water!

As Adele proclaimed, the
day was "fantastic" and
Agnes Scott students faculty,
and staff experienced, once
again, a sense of community
spirit.

Great Scott! 1985: A Community Success

The nightmare of every out-
door-event planner — wind
and rainclouds — may have
threatened last Saturday, but
they failed to dampen the
spirit of the third annual Great
Scott! community festival.

The diversity of activity —
everything from sunset jazz to
pony rides — attracted a host
of different people. For the
adults, there were interna-

tional delicacies to be sampl-
ed, books, crafts, plants and
ASC paraphernalia to be
bought, and various perfor-
mances, exhibits and
demonstrations to be enjoyed.
Children rode ponies, got their
faces painted, dressed up,
threw pies, got spooked, and
climbed all over authentic fire
engines. The community
thoroughly enjoyed itself.

The one puzzling thing
about this year's festival is
that so few students par-
ticipated. Students were con-
spicuously absent from the
day's events and the sunset
jazz concert, specifically plan-
ned for students, was embar-
rassingly empty. There are
several possible reasons for
the limited involvement. One is
that since the Great Scott

committee members were ap-
pointed later than usual (mid-
summer as opposed to spring
quarter), publicity was later in
getting out this year. However,
they did advertise on campus,
in mail boxes, and in the Pro-
file.

Another speculation is that
the students had "activity
burn out" because Black Cat

was held the week-end prior to
Great Scott. This week-end
might have been used to catch
up on lost studying time.

At any rate, despite low stu-
dent involvement, Great Scott!
1985 was extremely suc-
cessful in its outreach to the
community. It was an after-
noon of fun and an opportunity
for Agnes Scott to share its
bounty.

Studstill Speaks At Global Awareness Convocation

by Julie Kleinhans

Dr. John Studstill, Director
of the Program for Global
Awareness at Agnes Scott,
lectured on "Global
Awareness/Global Coopera-
tion" during the convocation
period on October 23, 1985.
Chimo, Agnes Scott's interna-
tional organization, sponsored
this convocation. Dr. Studstill
spoke about what he thinks
the goals of a global
awareness program should be.
In addition, he talked about his
recent trip to Burkina Faso,
the country in which Decatur's
two sister cities are located.

According to Dr. Studstill,
the global awareness program
should be more than just a pro-
gram in which we send
students all over the world to
understand other cultures and

other countries. The program
should be more than just a pro-
gram in which we develop our
potential. History has proven
that traveling to develop our
potential has caused us to ex-
ploit others. Dr. Studstill said,
"For the last 400 years Euro-
peans and U.S. -Americans
have been traveling the globe
and the result has been global
colonization and exploitation
of what has come to be known
as the Third World."

The ultimate goal of a pro-
gram for global awareness
should be "to help our school
and nation to finally enter as
an equal partner into the
association of nations ... to
search for peace and mutual
respect by breaking through
the prejudice and ethnocen-
trism, outmoded nationalism

and false pride that
characterize so many U.S. at-
titudes and political leaders."

Another goal of the global
awareness program is to cor-
rect student's ignorance in
"the role our nation has
played, and the means it has
used, in establishing itself as
the number one economic and
military power in the world to-
day."

Studstill spoke about
several motives he thinks we
should not have for traveling
to other countries. We should
not go into other countries
with the desire to be "mis-
sionaries"— "those that seek
to enlighten others on the
assumption that they know
what is best for the 'natives.' "
We also should not go into

TO THE POINT

by Becky Moses

There are few things more loathesome than a chronic corn-
plainer (a "whiny hiny," as we say at the Moses' house), but
my niggling grievance list is now approaching the length of
the United Nation's annual agenda, and I have just experienc-
ed "the last straw." Returning to class for a forgotten tennis
racket one day last week, I found my
professor hunched grumbling over
the chalk bin, fastidiously collecting
every shard of chalk from it. "Oh no,"
I thought, "a senile kleptomaniac."
But as it turned out, some Ebenezer in
the administration had decided that,
although Agnes Scott has fifty
million dollars in the bank and
charges over ten thousand dollars per
student for tuition anually, they can
no longer afford to provide chalk for professors. Fortunately,
the faculty was recently able to overturn this stingy decision,
but couldn't you just see it now? The faculty is irreparably
divided in "Chalk Wars" — "NO!" says Dr. Weber, "That is
my chalk. I know, because I always buy Crayola low dust in
mint green! Now, cough it up, Frau Weishofer!"

This attempt is just one of a host of miserly actions on
campus of late. Consider, for instance, the new, energy-
efficient, nineteen dollar light bulbs presently being installed
in residence rooms. Of course they're energy-efficient — they
only use ONE watt of electricity. One by one, Agnes Scott
students are going blind attempting to study by these anemic
fireflies.

We are fortunate enough to offer three foreign language
majors at ASC, but our language lab is chock full of the most
antiquated taping machinery available. You, too, can drill a
hole in your index finger trying to coax a belligerent tape
player to rewind. Of, if you prefer, you can burst a cochlea
straining to hear a barely audible Spaniard read you bedtime
stories. Could we possibly purchase equipment manufac-
tured sometime AFTER the French Revolution?

And then there's the refrigerator in Walters which con-
tinually electrocutes hungry students but cannot be fixed
because Walters isn't on the renovation list. While we're at it,
who set the campus walkways in quicksand so that crevices
the width of the San Andreas fault appear between the
bricks? Creatures that feed on the heels of collegiate shoes
must dwell in them, because of of my shoes have that
glamorous "gnawed-on" look.

When you go to get them repaired, better stop by the hard-
ware store, because Physical Plant no longer supplies the
materials necessary for hanging curtains. This year my cur-
tain rod looks like a giant, rusty boomerang. (But what do you
expect when you live in Hopkins — Slave quarters for Inman?)

This is not to say that ASC doesn't occasionally splurge.
After all, we did hire three men to paint the white line around
the soccer field (one to operate the sprayer and two to con-
firm that the line is white and is on the soccer field). And we
do have a man weilding a space age, George Jetson blow
dryer to poof the leaves from one side of the campus to the
other.

Anyway, my point is this — I know that the main thing of
Agnes Scott is the education, not the supreme comfort of
prima donna students. I also realize that there is nothing
wrong with keeping expenditures reasonable. But since all of
the expensive renovations are separate from Agnes Scott's
regular operating budget, are all these annoyances really
necessary? I would really like to know.

Athletic Facilities To Change?

Dear Editor:

I would like to update the
campus community on the
plans for the new Student
Center / Gymnasium slated for
completion before 1989 and
hopefully illicit comments
from ASC students.

Two years ago the firm of
Spillman and Farmer was
engaged to make a study of
the campus and subsequently,
submitted a masterplan with
sketches for renovation of the
present gym designed to ac-
comodate the physical educa-
tion program and student ac-
tivities. Unfortunately inter-
collegiate activities with the
necessity for a regulation size
basketball court were not
taken into consideration in
their plans.

This fault was soon cor-
rected and a model of the
facilities was approved last
spring by the Centennial Cam-
pus Committee (i.e. represen-
tatives from the board of
Trustees, Administration,
Faculty, and Students). This
model of the complex com-
bines the infirmary with a gym
(basketball court and pool) at-
tached to the present gym pro-
poses to contain the following
features: a regulation-size
basketball court (able to ac-
comodate 3-4 volleyball
courts, 6-8 badminton courts,
and 1-2 tennis courts with
spectator space for at least
one thousand people), a six or
eight lane, 25 meter pool with
one and three meter diving
platforms, 3-4 racquet ball
courts, weight training, game
room, T.V. -stereo lounge(s),
locker room facilities for men
and women, dance studio, stu-
dent organizations and
publications offices, and
faculty and staff lounge. The
committee approved this Stu-
dent Center/ Gym nasi urn
because they felt its proximity
to other central campus
buildings and its ability to
combine recreational, social,
and intercolegiate activities
would create a greater sense
of unity and community spirit.

Since last spring, several
alternatives to the plan have

been introduced for a variety
of reasons. These alternatives
would place the basketball
court (with all of it trappings)
and the pool in a separate
location either on the present
tennis courts, across the
street from the tennis courts,
or in the tennis court parking
lot. These ideas were pro-
moted because of the many
problems inherent in construc-
ting a pool on ground un-
suitable for its weight, in
creating a complex that would
partially cut into the existing
athletic field, and in the
aesthetic loss of the green ex-
panse of her athletic field from
many areas of the campus.
The plans have been further
considered in light of the re-
cent discovery that such a
complex would by far over-
shoot the 2.5 million dollars
estimated by the architects.

Of course the division of
some of the athletic facilities
from other athletic and recrea-
tional facilities poses its own
difficulties. First, the basket-
ball court (including volleyball,
badminton, etc.) and swimm-
ing pool, if divided from
everything else, would pro-
duce a sense of disunity with
regard to sports and physical
education. Secondly the divi-
sion would pose extra security
risks and thirdly, a separate
facility may cost more than
the existing proposed model
(of this we are not certain and
have no figures with which to
prove or disprove this claim).
This plans would also
necessitate the rebuilding of
the parking facilities or tennis
courts or might geopardise
viewing from the observatory
and the already scarce land
depending upon where the
building is to be located.

An alternative which has, as
of yet, existed in mere em-
bryonic form is that the Stu-
dent Center/Gymnasium re-
main a single complex of
structures but that the
gym/pool area be placed in the
wooded and grassy area of the
amphitheater and that it possi-
ble incorporate an automated
door so that the concrete
seats of the theater might be
used for viewing swim meets,
and synchronized swimming.

With this solution, the view
of the athletic field, the
athletic field itself, and the
tennis court/observatory area
would not be disturbed. The
problem of the pool's weight,
however, might remain a dif-
ficulty as might the loss of a
portion of the amphitheater.
The cost, too, might prove pro-
hibitive, however, as no
figures are available this can-

Class of 1986

Campus Officer
Speaks Out. . .

Dear Editor:

Being a new member of the
Agnes Scott staff in the
Department of Public Safety, I
was annoyed to quickly learn
the many misconceptions that
a majority of the students
have concerning us. Whether
it comes from a lack of com-
munication or a general un-
concern, most students do not
fully realize who we are or
what we do. In order to
"bridge" this communication
gap, I would like to make cer-
tain facts known:

1. The campus police is ex-
actly that — Campus Police.
We are all state-certified
Police Officers, and not
Security Guards. Each of us
has come to Agnes Scott from
other local police depart-
ments, and have experience
ranging from one to sixteen
years. We have full police
powers, as any other Police
Officer in the State does.

2. Of the nine full-time Cam-
pus Police employees, one is
working on a Master's degree,
one is a law student at Emory,
and another is completing a
Bachelor's degree at Georgia
State. Two others are making
plans to return to school.

3. During the evening hours,
there are always two to four of-
ficers patrolling the campus.
As a result of this, relatively
few incidents ever occur in the
evenings.

4. An officer is available
twenty-four hours a day to
assist you with everything
from opening your locked
dorm or car doors, to providing
escorts to and from Marta, to
taking you to the hospital
should an emergency arise.

So, as you can see, we are
all professionals. We will try to
assist you any way we can. We
strive to provide for you a safe
and secure campus to enjoy. I
hope that this will help you
students to better understand
who we are and what we do.

Sincerely.
Rick Brounlee
Campus Police Officer

Never on Sunday: Library Unwilling to Compromise

by Elizabeth Mullis

Of all the pseudo-gothic
buildings of academia on this
campus my one of least regard
is that of beloved McCain
Library. Nestled oh so comfor-
tably between the delapidated
Bucher Scott Gymnasium and
the glory that is Buttrick this
building invokes a sense of in-
adequacy whenever I enter its
hallowed stacks. All those
books compiled by hundreds
of years of scholarship stare
down at me as I timidly open
my measely first-year German
book to memorize the dative

case pronouns. I feel trivial.

But on Sundays I must wait
until 1:30 pm to feel trivial. No,
I can stand outside and feel
put-off from 1:00 until the
doors open at 1:30, but I can-
not feel trivial until the magic
half-hour.

Last spring a friend of mine
casually asked the Sunday
librarian why the library did
not open earlier in the day.
Thunderclouds clapped
overhead. Lightning struck the
soccer goal behind McCain.
And the librarian bellowed in a
celestial voice: "Because

some of us go to church!" My
friend crawled away feeling
like the unconfessed criminal
at Jesus' left hand.

My response to the irate
Sunday-afternoon librarian
would have been, "Well, hire
an atheist to work on Sunday
mornings." Granted, the
librarian's response was a bit
impromptu and rash, and
granted, she may have been
responding for herself and not
according to the policy of the
library staff, but, let's face it,
her response was righteous
and offending — and about as

lame as it gets.

When Catalyst Committee
approached the library staff
about opening the library even
thirty minutes earlier, they
were greeted with a resoun-
ding no. There was no room for
discussion, no willingness to
compromise. Why is this staff
so defensive and rooted in
their practices? It seems
ironic to me that a campus
that is experiencing so many
new ideas and changes must
be subjected to a library facili-
ty that is not answering the
students' needs.

The staff's defensiveness
suggests to me that their stub-
borness is born out of a total
rejection of change rather
than an inability to change.
There are inconveniences, but
they're not road blocks. Have a
public safety officer or student
assistant open the library thir-
ty minutes earlier on Sunday.
Split in half the long Sunday
shift for librarians instead of
punishing them with an eight
and one-half hour sentence.

Compromise is not impossi-
ble. It just takes a little effort.

The Great T.P. Caper — In The Black Cat Spirit

by Milo Scott

In case any of you missed it
the Friday of Black Cat, the se-
cond floor of Buttrick was
decorated by several rambunc-
tious individuals. I was quite
impressed with the ingenuity
and creativity of these women.
Red, green, blue and yellow
toilet paper intertwined desks
and lights. The chalk and
erasers were confiscated from
each room and impishly plac-
ed on the elevator. Chairs were
dragged into the halls and
placed througout. The faculty
members and students with

whom I interacted seemed to
enjoy the compliment. I was
rather disillusioned when I
learned that there were several
people on campus who did not
enjoy the decorations.

For instance, there was one
Honor Court President and
one Mortar Board member
who were looking like thunder
and throwing away toilet
paper. I also hear that one par-
ticular Dean was preparing to
"kill" the perpetrators. There
were even a few peeved pro-
fessors. What I'd like to know
is — What's the big deal?

It was an innocent prank
done in the spirit of good
clean fun — but apparently
someone missed the boat.
Has Mortar Board so totally
forgotten the spirit of Black
Cat? At least last year we had
our poison sweetened when
we were allowed out of
classes on Friday. This year,
neither the rolling of Buttrick
nor the gestures of the Black
Kitties worked to free us from
classes.

The spirit of Black Cat can-
not be allowed to expire under
the burden of heavy rules and

unspirited leaders. What
message of the traditions of
Black Cat are we leaving to
Freshmen to carry on to future
Scotties? With Interdorm
rules, hall rules, Black Cat
rules, Hondr Court rules and
such, how is a student to cut
loose with some innocent,
harmless fun? This prank not
only brought some spirit to
Buttrick, but it also inspired
sisterhood among all four
classes since it involved
various representatives of
Scotties of all ages. The one
goal was to brighten up Black

Cat for the students and pro-
fessors, not to maliciously
disrupt the educational pro-
cess. Yes — cleaning up the
mess should have been shared
by the "messers" and yes, it
may have caused problems,
but the complications were
magnified by the over-
reactions of certain in-
dividuals. On the whole, Black
Cat was a huge success and
everyone needs to be con-
gratulated on the unity it
brought to the campus com-
munity. Let's mellow out and
enjoy sponteneity.

Women, Careers

and Religion

by Claudette Cohen

Tuesday night at the
Women in Religion discussion
sponsored by Deirdre Good
and Becky Morrison, students
gained a better insight into
relig ion-related careers,
thanks to five representatives
from various fields in religion.

The representatives were:
Marilyn Washburn, doctor and
chaplain from the DeKalb /
Grady Clinic; Reverend Sharon
Austin, assistant pastor of
Ebenezer Baptist Church;
Dean Gerald Lord, assistant
director of the Candler School
of Theology at Emory; Miriam
Rosenbaum, assistant direc-
tor of the Bureau of Jewish
Education; and Dr. Rita Dixon
of the Presbyterian Center.

Each representative shared

by Kathy McKee

For as long as archaeo-
logists have been digging
ing trenches, restoration has
been a question. Overzealous
excavators, such as Sir Arthur
Evans, have often complicated
the problem of whether to
restore with their enthusiastic,
yet detrimental efforts. Dr.
Bonna Wescoat, Assistant
Professor of Art History at
Emory University, addressed

with the students her unique
experience of how she came
into a career in religion and
her perceptions of what it
means to be a women in the
field of religion. The panel also
discussed the many
possibilities of how a student
can incorporate a theological
education into careers such as
business, law, medicine and
communications. Each stu-
dent, the representatives
agreed, has her own talents to
bring to the flexible field of
religion, and, should she
choose religion as a career,
the distinct "niche" she will
occupy in this visit field will
gradually become clear to her
after her years in college and
after many curious twists of
fate.

Archaelogical Institute Sponsors Lecture

the topic of restoration in her
lecture, "Cranes Over Asia:
Recent Restoration in Aegean
Turkey." The lecture, held on
Thurday evening, October 17,
was part of the lecture series
of the Archaeological Institute
of Amercia, Atlanta Society.
Using slides of several excava-
tion sites on the Asia Minor
coast, Dr. Wescoat described
the types of restoration being
undertaken presently and the

methods involved in the pro-
cess. Ephesus, Assos,
Didyma, Pergamum, and Sar-
dis are among the sites under
restoration. Depending upon
available funds, state of
preservation of the site's
ruins, and values of individual
excavators, restoration may
take different forms. At Sardis,
for example, only a few col-
umns of a temple facade have
been restored in order to give

an untrained observer some
sense of the temple's dimen-
sions. At Pergamum much
more extensive restoration
has been done, including the
reconstruction of a complete
facade and back wall of a
library. In contrast to Evans'
painting the restored columns
at Knossos red, Dr. Wescoat
emphasized that recent
restoration efforts attempt to
use materials, such as con-

crete and aggreagates, which
weather to the color of the
original materials, but which
are recognizable from the
original. Dr. Wescoat con-
cluded her lecture by stressing
the caution with which any
restoration project must pro-
ceed in order that only work
which is essential to the
preservation and to some
degree the aesthetics of the
site be undertaken.

Bishop Desmond Tutu of
South Africa, will be speaking
at 7:30 p.m., Thursday,
November 7, 1985, at
Morehouse College Martin

Tutu's speech will be "South
Africa: Challenge and Hope."

In addition to having served
as a teacher, Mrs. Tutu has
played an active role in the
struggle for justice in South
Africa. She has been par-
ticularly involved in the work
to improve the conditions of
domestic workers in her coun-

This summer a group of
secondary school teachers
will be visiting the Agnes Scott
campus to attend a National
Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH) Summer
Seminar. Directed by Dr.
Richard D. Parry, chair of the
Philosophy Department, the
seminar will be held from July
7 to August 8, 1986 and will
focus on "Virtue, Happiness,
and. Public Life in Plato's
Republic."

Dr. Parry's seminar will be
one of approximately 59 such
seminars to be held across the
nation. The NEH began this
program of summer seminars
for secondary school teachers
in 1983 in order to provide high
school teachers with an oppor-

Agnes Scott College will
sponsor "Women and Mind-

designed to assist young

choices and challenges. In-
tended for high school
sophomores and juniors, the
program is scheduled for
Saturday, November 9 from
9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the
College.

Participants in "Women and

These domestic workers, who
comprise approximately 11
percent of the African
workforce, are prohibited by
law from organizing into

South Africa.

Among the program par-
ticipants will be Mayor Andrew
Young, Atlanta Councilman
John Lewis, Morehouse Presi-

Adam Smith, and Dr. Lawrence
E. Carter, Dean of the King

tunity for advanced study in
"the significant texts of
civilization." As with each
seminar, NEH hopes that after
the seminar the teachers in-
volved will be able to pass on
their increased knowledge of
Plato's Republic in their own
classrooms. Thus, the pro-
gram serves to expand the
horizons of both high school
teachers and students.

The participants in Dr.
Parry's seminar will not be
limited to teachers of
classical subjects but instead
will be teachers from many
areas of the humanities and
the arts who wish to expand
their use of or begin to include
ancient thought in teaching.
The approach to the text for
the seminar will not be ex-
clusively historical nor ex-

about the increasing variety of
careers open to women, gain
insights into the educational
backgrounds needed to pur-
sue those careers, and in-
teract with professionals who
represent a diversity of
endeavors and training who
can serve as career role
models.

Dr. Parry is very enthused

changing images of

they have for the roles that
they may play, as their lives
unfold, are subject of con-
tinual change. The interplay
between society's demands
on the individual, and the in-
dividual's expectations of
society, make it particularly
difficult for the young girl,
emerging into adulthood, to
plan intelligently for her
future," said Dr. Lewin.

ASC Celebrates Black Cat Week

by Becky Moses
and Beverly Garcia

Black Cat 1985 was, without
a doubt, a smashing success.
The week began with the
Senior Class prank, Camp
Ahwoo, with special guest
Chief Nocahoma (courtesy of
The Atlanta Braves). The
Juniors were next on the agen-
da with "It's Raining Men," an
attempt to make Agnes Scott
co-ed for the day. On Wednes-
day, the Sophomores spon-
sored an air raid in the dining
hall and the Freshmen spoof-
ed a Mandatory Convocation
complete with singing
telegram.

Thursday evening, song
practice was held at the
Trackside Tavern for the
Seniors and at The Freight
Room for the Juniors. Then, all
four classes gathered in the
amphitheatre for the song
competition and the unveiling
of the freshman class
mascot— The Cheshire Cat.
On Friday, the class competi-

tion entered the Atheletic
Zone as ASC students hobbl-
ed, chewed, tugged, carried
(and virtualy swam!) their way
through the Games.

The Junior Class Produc-
tion— "This Is Only a Test"
brought all the classes
together again Friday night for
a hilarious look at ASC
stereotypes. The Production
was written by Jackie
Stromberg and Kathy McKee,
and was directed by Sarah
Garland. The all-Junior cast
was riotous and the produc-
tion is being heralded as one
of the best ever.

The zenith of Friday's ac-
tivities was, of course, the
presentation of the coveted
Black Kitty. The judges were
Kathy Scott, Professor of
Political Science; Luis Pena,
Professor of Spanish; Gerald
Whittington, Vice President
of Business Office; Rosemary
Cunningham, Professor of
Economics; and Dean Hudson
sitting in for an injured Rick
Scott. The results of the

various competitions are as
follows: Seniors— Overal I
Spirit and Participation,
Decorations and Prank;
Juniors— Games, Song and tie
with the Sophomores for se-
cond place in Decorations,
and Freshman came in second
for Prank. In the end, the 1985
Black Kitty went the the Class
of 1986— The Highlanders!

The Black Cat formal, one of
Agnes Scott's most popular
traditions, culminated the
week of Black Cat and
freshman orientation.
Everyone anticipated the for-
mal, which was held at the
Pierremont Plaza Hotel.
Originally the dance was
scheduled at the Sheraton
Century Center, but because
of a mix up in the quantity of
hotel rooms, the dance was
moved. Phoenix, the band
which provided the evening's
entertainment, played
everything from "Shout" to
"The Bird." Class pictures
were taken, providing yet
another setting for classmates

The Black Kitties are a tradition of Black Cat week at ASC. They supported their
respective classes during the games and gave flowers to professors. The Black Kit-
ties were: seniors: Pilar Duque, Maria Gonzalez (pictured here); juniors: Pam
Callahan, Mishana Mogelnicki; sophomores: Felicia Wheeler, Melissa Poultorv
freshmen: Julie Huffaker, Jennifer Spurli n. Photo by Susan Vargas

to get together and act silly.
Besides a few problems with
room assignments, the even-
ing was a total success,
thanks to the hard work of
Social Council. The formal

gave the entire ASC student
body an opportunity to enjoy
the evening full of friends, dan-
cing, drinking, good food,
drinking, dates, drinking, and
hang-overs.

It's A Bird! It's A Plane!

It's Steven Guthrie!

by Becky Moses
and Beverly Garcia

Among the many new faces
at Agnes Scott this year is one
that bears a striking
resemblance to Clark Kent. It's
Dr. Steven Guthrie, the new
assistant Professor of
English. Dr. Guthrie is a Kan-
sas City native and received
his BA from Antioch College in
1968. As a contientious objec-
tor to the Vietnamese War, he
then served two years of non-
participant duty at a hospital
in Ohio. Following his duty, he
worked as a contractor /
carpenter for eight years until
he returned to school for his
PhD in 1978. His doctoral
dissertation was a generative
metrical study on Geoffrey
Chaucer's Troilus and
Criseyde, which he completed

at Brown. While at Brown, he
met and married Anne Ely,
who is currently compiling her
dissertation on Henry James.
The Guthries have a four year
old son named Andy.

Dr. Guthrie's current impres-
sion of Agnes Scott is fav-
orable. "It's a good place to
teach," he says. "I like the
students. I like the faculty, and
the work load is responsible.
And, I also get to teach what I
want to teach — in my special-
ty, which is unusual coming
straight out of graduate
school." He also adds that he
enjoys the honor system. An-
tioch had an honor system,
but it degenerated during the
mid 60's and hasn't been suc-
cessfully reinstituted since
then.

"There is also a sense of com-
munity here. I like to see signs
of it in the faculty . . . where a
member considers the school
as a whole, instead of coun-
ting up the number of hours
their department is going to be
able to offer. That is,
historically and typically, one
of the difficult things about
teaching in colleges. College
teachers are supposed to be
fairly egotistical and not able
to work together. I see signs of
working together here. Which
is nice."

Dr. Guthrie teaches two
courses in Chaucer, one in
Middle English Literature, one
in Poetry Writing, and one in
the History of the Language
which is to be offered the year
after next.

(Continued from Page 1)

other countries with the
"desire to dominate." Dr.
Studstill said, "We must con-
demn all U.S. intervention in
other lands when it is based
on the desire to dominate
rather than the desire to aid
and cooperate as equals in the
pursuit of justice and prosperi-
ty for all."

Dr. Studstill thinks that a
global awareness program
should promote more study in
the Third World. He cited
several statistics which he
thinks indicate why more
study in the Third World is
needed. According to Dr.
Studstill, "Fewer than five per-
cent of U.S. students abroad
go to Asian, African, or Latin
American countries. Nearly
three-fourths of the world's
population live in these na-
tions. U. S. trade with Third
World Countries now ap-

proaches forty percent of all
U.S. imports and exports. Over
fifty percent of foreign
students studying in the U. S.
are from the Third World."

For a week and a half star-
ting October 12, Dr. Studstill,
President Schmidt and a
delegation from Decatur
visited Decatur's sister cities,
Bousse and Ouhigouya. These
cities are located in Burkina
Faso, a country in Africa. Mike
Mears, the Mayor of Decatur
and Gary Guaderson, editor of
the magazine, Seeds: Chris-
tians Concerned about World
Hunger led the delegation.
Governor Harris proclaimed
October 12 Bousse-Ouhigouya
Day. During a short question
and answer period which
followed Dr. Studstill's lec-
ture, President Schmidt
described Burkina's Faso's
reception for Decatur as ex-
traordinary.

Lifton Enjoys ASC

by Beverly Garcia

Paul Lifton is here at ASC as
an Assistant Professor of
Theatre. This is his first time in
Atlanta and he seems to like it.
He is enjoying teaching here
and is very impressed with the
quality of our students. He is
originally from California and
received his B.A. degree from
Pomona College, his Masters
from San Francisco State
University and his Ph.D. from
Berkeley, all in theatre. When
he arrived in Atlanta this sum-
mer he was immediately
drawn to the beauty of the
campus and the friendliness
of the students he had the op-
portunity to meet. He also en-
joyed meeting with faculty
members. While here at ASC

he has become a very active
supporter of the Blackfriars
and will be in charge of super-
vising publicity for them. Mr.
Lifton is looking forward to
directing the Blackfriars in the
Spring. This quarter he
teaches Introduction to
Theatre, a public speaking
course and a few others. His
future plans include becoming
more familiar with Atlanta and
finding some time to get in-
volved in acting and directing.
Though acting in the "real
world," as he puts it, is risky
and unstable, he would like to
take part in it in the future. Mr.
Lifton is enjoying living in
Atlanta and hopes to continue
teaching at ASC.

A Closer Look at the Agnes Scott Tennis Team

by Mary Carter Whitten

The 1985-86 Tennis Team
has almost completed its fall
season and the statistics are
great! Out of four matches
thus far, the team has won
three of them scoring 5-4 over
Shorter College, 7-2 over
Georgia College, and 7-5 over
Emory College at Oxford. The
only loss has come at Emory
University with a score of 7-2.
Individual and team statistics
are as follows: Jill Owens
No.1, Tracy McMahon No. 2,
Mary Margaret Krauth No. 3,
Margaret Bell No.4, Vee Kim-
brell No. 5, and Mitrina

Mogelnicki No. 6. Other
players are Barbara Jenkins,
Thao Tu, and Sarah Jewitt. Six
members of the team are
freshmen, one is a sophomore,
one a junior, one a senior, and
one an RTC. Of special note,
Jill Owens, the only
undefeated member of the
team, is also placed second in
Oaklahoma, and thirteenth in
the Missouri Valley.

The Tennis Team is suc-
cessful due to the player's,
manager's, and coach's
discipline. They practice
almost every day and abide by

Volleyball:

The Fun and the Fury

by Mary Carter Whitten

One of the most versatile
sports in any area is volleyball.
It is played on beaches, in
back yards, in churches and
YMCA's for fun and in high
schools, colleges, and in the
summer Olympic Games for
competition. Volleyball com-
bines the effort of the in-
dividual and of the team and
employs at once a relatively
easy pace and lightening-
quick exchanges. This sport at
Agnes Scott is all of the above
and more because it adds to
the more tangible aspects a
sense of community spirit and
pride.

This fall the Agnes Scott
volleyball team began its first
season with a group of
students interested in playing
competitive, or power,
volleyball. The team's roots
lay in the tradition of
Volleyball For Fun which was
first introduced on campus

last winter quarter.

In this formative year, the
team has pulled off an incredi-
ble record — three wins and
one loss to date.

Many members of the team
played in high school or par-
ticipated in other sports and
thus entered Agnes Scott with
a knowledge of team
strategies and individual skills
which they have refined here.
Such a team feeds on the
spirit of competition and en-
joys most the challenge of
playing equally competitive
schools. The support of facul-
ty, staff, administration, and
students has added perspec-
tive to the games and has in-
stilled in the team a sense of
pride and purpose larger than
the game itself.

Volleyball For Fun has also
been revitalized this quarter in
rather a different form. Those
students, faculty, and staff in-

training rules such as man-
datory practices, no smoking,
and no drinking the evening
before a match. Although
rigorous, the training rules and
constant practice do not seem
overly restricitve. The players
feel that such rules and prac-
tice keep them in shape, on
top of the game, and well
prepared for their matches.
And, of course, the statistics
bear this out.

The team is also dedicated,
which is the most important
factor of the game. As Agnes
Scott's only intercollegiate

sport, it represents the col-
lege's sports program "across
Georgia.". While player
dedication is crucial so is that
of the coach, the manager,
and the supporters. Cindy
Peterson will soon close her
third fall coaching season and
she is as enthusiastic about
the team as when she first ar-
rived. Adele Clements,
manager, spends countless
hours providing moral support
and items of physical comfort
for the team during practice or
a match. Recently, as the
numbers in the bleachers have
increased, the supporters

have dilligently watched each
stroke, serve, win, and loss.

The Agnes Scott "Purple
Tide" (as the team has
sometimes been called) has
really made an effort this fall
and that effort has paid off.
They have three more matches
before the season's
close— one of which, the
match against Georgia State,
on November 4 at 2 p.m., is
their last home match. So
. . .come out and support the
ASC Tennis Team and be a
part of a truely winning com-
bination.

terested in a little sport and
exercise have faced one
another on two occasions thus
far and hopefully will have
future opportunities to do so.
The teams, attempted first as
faculty/staff vs. students,
usually ended by mixing, ad-
ding an even greater emphasis

upon community and fun.

Even the Black Cat
volleyball games, which re-
main as class-pitted-against-
class competitions, are part of
a much more intellectual spirit
which combines physical skill
with outside purposes —
those of unifying the campus,

and inducting the freshmen,
and fun through the Black Cat
festivities.

Volleyball is a versatile
sport and, more importantly, a
versatile activity because it
combines the physical and the
intellectual, the individual and
the team, the fun and the fury.

A.S. Kickers Get Their A.S. Kicked

by Pilar Duque

5-1 was the final score.
Berry scored five goals, while
in the same ninety minutes we
managed to score only once.
What a sad story. But soccer
is that way. You win some, you
lose some. However, we
should not have lost in that
way. It was definitely not a
very good game for the A.S.
Kickers. The truth is, we were
not playing up to our usual
standards.

Our offense line was lack-

ing: we only had two shots at
their goal during the whole
game. Our defense and
goalkeeping certainly were not
the best we've ever had, and
our middle line kept bunching
up.

However, if there is one
good thing to be said about
this soccer game, is the fact
that we had a good number of
people cheering for us!
Students and faculty were
represented there. Even the

administration attended. Rob
Thies, Jerry Whittington, and
yes, Rick Scott with his leg in
a cast, were all there.

So, since I need to blame so-
meone or something for the
disastrous game, I think Black
Cat Formal is a logical can-
didate. Almost all of our
players attended the formal,
and by the time four o'clock
Sunday rolled around, energy
had pretty much deserted
everyone.

Dr. Clyde Edgerton Brings Raney to Life at ASC

by Heather Rogers

On Wednesday, October 30,
Agnes Scott College welcom-
ed Dr. Clyde Edgerton, the
author of Raney — this year's
freshman orientation book.

After Raney was chosen by
the Orientation Book Commit-
tee, Charlotte Hoffman, the
Chair of the committee, spent
the summer arranging Dr.
Edgerton's visit to Agnes
Scott.

The Agnes Scott Communi-
ty had many opportunities to
meet Dr. Edgerton and have
their books autographed dur-
ing Wednesday's informal
discussion in the Hub, at din-
ner, after the readings and
Thursday morning at
breakfast. Ms. Hoffman noted

that Dr. and Mrs. Edgerton
were very congenial and com-
fortable speaking with the
Agnes Scott community.

A graduate of the University
of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, Dr. Edgerton received a
Master's in English Education
and a Ph.D. in Curriculm and
instruction of English from
UNC also. He taught educa-
tion and psychology at Camp-
bell University, a member of
the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion, where he resigned
because of a conflict with the
administration's views on
Raney.

He is currently the
Associate Professor of Educa-
tion and English at St.
Andrew's in North Carolina

Schmidt Visits
Burkina Faso

by Becky Moses

On October 12th, Dr. Ruth
Schmidt and Dr. John Studstill
travelled along with several
Decatur officials to the West
African country of Burkina
Faso. The City of Decatur had
declared two cities in Burkina
Faso to be their sister cities
and the Agnes Scott represen-
tatives joined them in support
of their effort to establish a
friendship with the drought-
crippled nation.

President Schmidt called
the trip "a sensitizing ex-
perience." The visitors were
exposed to some of the harsh
realities of a poverty-stricken
country: people walking for
hours in search of water,
primitive operating tables con-
structed of wooden slats and
vultures wandering through
the pediatric wards of the
local "hospitals." In spite of
all this, the spirit of the
citizens was undaunted. Presi-
dent Schmidt expresses
amazement at what she calls
their "sense of dedication"
and admires their colorful
clothes and bright smiles in an
otherwise barren land.

Because Burkina Faso is in
such obvious need, it is possi-
ble that in the future, Agnes
Scott will designate funds
raised for charities to help
meet some of the country's
overwhelming needs. It is
hoped, however, that the sister
city friendships will foster
much more than that. The
focus is on a cultural ex-
change which will probably
bear much more long-term
than immediate fruit.

The official stance of the
government of Burkina Faso is
full equality of women. But the
culture of the people is laden
with African tradition, so the
equality isn't always fully
manifested. "Anyone who
believes that the lot of women
in most parts of the world is
harder than men's is living in
some world other than this
one," comments President
Schmidt. "The day begins at
four thirty, when the woman
gets up to go and get water.
Then she feeds breakfast to
her family and carries on with
the day's duties, which may in-
clude working in the fields as

where his wife is the Assistnt
Director of Development. Mrs.
Susan Ketchin Edgerton is an
editor of children's books and
was a 1970 graduate of Agnes
Scott.

At 8:15 the audience in
Maclean Auditorium was an-
ticipating a lecture on Raney
and possibly some readings.
Although Dr. Edgerton did
read three selections from
Raney (bringing Raney Bell
Shepherd to life), he was not
going to pass up the chance to
entertain Anges Scott with his
banjo-picking ditties.

But first the readings.
Raney, born a Free Will Bap-
tist in Bethel, North Carolina,
has a limited understanding of
people, often people like him

provided inspiration for
humorous readings for Dr.
Edgerton.

Raney writes, "Somehow I
thought people were born as
vegetarians. I never though
about somebody just chang-
ing over." And on her honey-
moon night, Raney is disillu-
sioned by "something corrod-
ed" in her husband, Charles,
who not only dared buy
alcohol but drank the whole
bottle of champagne.

Continuing on with his
entertainment, Dr. Edgerton
and his wife sang, "This World
Is Not My Home" which Raney
wrote and sang for Charles.
Dr. Edgerton changed the
words slightly for his friend,
Dr. Jane Pepperdene, who

retired from chairing the
English Department at Agnes
Scott last spring.

Next, Dr. Edgerton re-
counted the tale of Raney's lit-
tle brother, Norris, who gets a
fish hook "with worm still on
the hook" caught in his nose.
Dr. Edgerton's next song,
dedicated to "all you north of
the Mason-Dixon line," was
about a woman who travels
from Boston to Apex, North
Carolina where she finds
herself "a quiche woman in a
barbecue town."

Then came "The Agnes
Scott Blues" about a student,
who in a desperate attempt to
pass history, resorts to raking
Dr. Brown's lawn among other

Trudy Smith, Pat Grant, Betsy and Elmer Wilson discuss "Coping with College"

Photo by Monica Duque

Panel Copes With College

by Andrea Farmer

The RTC Support Group
sponsored a Sandwich
Seminar for all students
Wednesday, November 6 at
11:30 in the lower terrace din-
ing hall. The topic of discus-
sion was "Coping with Col-
lege" and was presented by a
four person panel. The
members of the panel includ-
ed: Trudy Smith, representing
the traditional Agnes Scott
student; Pat Grant, a single
RTC; Betsy Wilson, a married
RTC; Elmer Wilson, Betsy
Wilson's husband, represen-
ting the family of an RTC.
Each panel member spoke on
what they believed to be im-
portant tools in coping with
college.

Trudy Smith, class of '86,
cited two important aspects of
coping with college: mental
awareness and fitness, and
physical fitness. She stated
that before you arrive at col-
lege, it is necessary to realize
that the prime purpose of col-
lege is to receive the best

education possible. To do this,
you must give your best effort,
keep a positive attitude, and
regard your education in a
positive light instead of as a
struggle. She suggested mak-
ing a loose daily schedule to
help budget time.

On the physical side of cop-
ing, Trudy stresed the impor-
tance of keeping healthy. She
remarked that it is impossible
to give your best effort it you
are tired and run down.

Trudy also mentioned the
importance of maintaining a
social life. Education in the
classroom is important, but
making friends and having ex-
tracurricular activities are a
part of learning, also.

Pat Grant, a single RTC, ad-
vised students to take advan-
tage of opportunities to meet
with their professors and ad-
visors. She also advised
students not to measure
themselves by other's ac-
complishments but to work at
a comfortable pace.

One topic Pat emphasized
was budgeting time. She sug-
gested making a quarter
calendar on a single page and
marking when assignments
are due.

Pat's advice to RTC's was to
get to know traditional
students as well as other
RTC's and to remember that
an RTC's returning to school
affects everyone around her.

Elmer Wilson gave the point
of view of an RTC's family. He
said that a family will often go
through a difficult period of
adjustment when a member
returns to school. After the ad-
justment period, the situation
becomes much easier to han-
dle and the main problem is
juggling the different
schedules of each family
member.

The RTC Support Group
sponsors two Sandwich
Seminars per quarter for the
entire college. All students,
traditional and RTC, are in-
vited to attend.

TO THE POINT

by Becky Moses

The American Dream - it's come a long way from "a chicken in
every pot". Now it's a chicken in every pot (if we absolutely have
to cook, but wouldn't it be so nice if we went out to eat?), as
many cars as we can get loans for (certainly at least one per driv-
ing member of the family), a six bedroom, three bath home with
two residents, a word processor, a food
processor, a VCR, a Forenza sweater in
every color . . . the list goes on indefinite-
ly, depending upon your tastes and
values. At this point, Archie Bunker
would interject a hearty "hip hip hooray"
for the obvious superiority of capitalism.
Somewhere along the line, the sweet
land of liberty has become the sweet
land of gluttony.

Maybe it's not that excessive in all
cases, but even at its minimum, the
American Dream is a Third World Nightmare. Keeping it alive for
an elite few requires the economic and ecological exploitation
of many. It is nothing other than human sacrifice to the god of
mammon.

I realize this may sound harsh. It isn't my intent. I don't hate
capitalism and I don't think we should live in lean-to's and eat
grasshoppers. What I'm trying to say is that there's something
wrong with our consciousness, collectively and individually. The
human race was given a divine mandate to BE conscious — to
be stewards — of the earth. Yet I find myself so narrow in my
awareness; anesthetized to hunger ads and statistics,
academically considering issues of injustice with a vague sense
of emotion.

Where is our campus' indignation at the injustice of Apar-
theid? Where is our concern for the military and economic ex-
ploitation of Central America. But it isn't just the economic
poverty of the third world that concerns me. Americans are poor
as well. Money-centricism has created a deep perversion of our
society's motivations and values, a rationalization of living
beyond our means, and a sincere love for money and the things
it buys.

Frankly, I don't know how much longer we can continue to
maintain these nice lifestyles. Neither resources, nor world
tolerance of the grossly unjust distribution of them promise to
hold out forever.

So maybe Agnes Scott doesn't need any more dormsthat look
like palaces. And maybe we ought seriously to reconsider our in-
dividual excesses. Because right now, prophets are beginning to
cry out in the wilderness. We can decapitate them, or alter our
lifestyles. But either way, Bob Dylan said it best: He who was
first shall later be last, for the times, they are a-changin'.

DON'T CROWD! DON'T SHOVE!
DON'T TRAMPLE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!

RTC Health
Needs Ignored?

Dear Editor:

I read with keen interest the
article on Health News (p. 7,
Oct. 18, Profile) because the
Health Center has become a
"sore spot" with me. As an
RTC, I must pay a physician to
provide health information for
the Health Center. However,
the center will not treat an
RTC student on campus
should a health situation
arise. This is what I was told
by the Health Center. The
average age of an RTC is,
medically speaking, in the
high risk area. The Health
Center wants to be fully aware
of any medical problems we
have. This is a very good idea,
but if we are unable to use the
facility (and the reasons
behind this are sound) why
can't we provide the medical
information ourselves? Why
do we have to have a physician
fill out a form? If RTC's are
told that we are a medical risk,
why are we not exempt from
P.E. classes? Many state col-
leges do not require students
over a certain age to take
physical education classes,
unless they want to do so.
There are a variety of exercise
programs designed to meet
the needs and physical adept-
ness of older people, but not
at Agnes Scott.

I am not opposed to
physical activity, but I am not
willing to knowingly push
myself beyond my physical
limitations. That is absurdity! I
feel that the physical well be-
ing and health needs of RTC's
are being ignored.

police officers, many of whom
are furthering their education,
but can it be said that there
are always two to four officers
patrolling the campus who will
"open our locked dorm or car
doors, provide us with an
escort to and from Marta, and
take us to the hospital in case
of emergencies?"

From my experience, I have
not seen the above points to
be proven true. While in the
Public Safety Building I have
seen some of the officers act
unprofessionally.

For example, I have seen of-
ficers, who are supposedly
patrolling the campus to pro-
tect us, sit and watch televi-
sion for periods of time rang-
ing from thirty minutes to two
hours.

On one occasion, there were
only two officers on duty, and
one of them spent long
periods of time watching
television. How could there
have beeen at least two of-
ficers patrolling campus when
one of them was sitting in the
Public Safety Building glued
to the TV?

I have also seen officers go
into the back room and take
naps while on duty. Are these
officers really protecting us?

I hope this letter will help
the campus police officers to
see why the students have so
many so-called misconcep-
tions about Public Safety. All
the students want are officers
who are truly looking out for
our best interests not those
engrossed in The Scarecrow
and Mrs. King.

Name withheld upon re-
quest.

Dear Milo . . .

Dear Editor:

I was extrememly disap-
pointed with "Milo Scott's"
assessment of the so-called
prank that occurred the Friday
morning of Black Cat. I believe
that the reaction of the Honor
Court President, Mortor Board,
the Dean and the others that
Milo alluded to was complete-
ly warranted. As President of
Spirit Committee the spirit on
this campus is very important
to me. Any acts by students
that lighten the load here or
give a few laughs to release
tension I will applaud.
However, the "trick" played on
second Buttrick did none of
these things.

In assessing the value of the
prank I would like to call atten-
tion to several facts. It
disrupted faculty routine for
no valid reason, created a
mess to be cleaned up by
those whose job description
does not include such ac-
tivities (either maids or Mortor
Board) and even caused one
student to turn in a paper late
because she had to help
straighten out the mess

although she did not have a
hand in the "fun" prank. These
consequences lead me to
classify the event as nothing
short of vandalism; I feel that
the instigators should be dealt
with as vandals. At ASC we
must learn to take respon-
sibility for our actions. This
seems an opportune time for a
few to receive such a lesson.

Finally, I would like to com-
ment on how acts such as this
one do much to demean the
tradition of Black Cat. Yes,
Black Cat is a time for pranks,
jokes, competition and light-
hearted fun but when some
people take a destructive or
malicious approach it only en-
forces the opinions of those
who deny Black Cat's value.
One professor commented
that traditions such as Black
Cat must always contain such
occurrences but I disagree.
Destruciton is not a necessary
part of Black Cat. It can be
what we as students make it.
So, I hope that as I leave ASC I
can feel confident that the
students will reject such
juvenile activitiies. Please, let
next year's Black Cat be filled
with events that unify existing
friendships and create new
ones, pranks of wit, inven-
tiveness, and even satire— not
acts that cause grief and extra
work for some while others get
off scott free (no pun
intended). We have the In-
tellegence and the ability to
make this true.
Optimistically.
Nancy Hardy

President-Spirit Committee

Dear Editor:

I would like to take this op-
portunity to respond to "Milo
Scott's" editorial in the Oc-
tober issue of The Profile. The
"younger generation," as Milo
calls certain members of the
junior class, took a stuffed
animal on which this campus
unfortunately places too much
value. However, the people
who had him could have given
"Sylvester's" rightful owners
(i.e., the senior class) a "ran-
som" note sooner. There was
no word from this kitty for two
weeks, except for the picture
in the October 4 issue of The
Profile from which the name of
the photographer (by the way,
a junior) was unintentionally
withheld.

I would also like to clarify
something that seems to be
hazy in the minds of some
members of the student body.
Mortar Board is not the senior
class although its members
are seniors. Members of the
senior class disagree with the
Board's decisions, and not
every member of Mortar Board
agrees with every stand the
Board takes; that is her
privilege. However, each
member must uphold every
decision the Board makes;
that is her duty.
To set the record straight,

The Fine Art Of Procrastination

How is Agnes Scott directly (or indirectly through the Board
of Trustees) invested in South Africa? Are we going to divest? If
not, why not?

Agnes Scott's portfolio of investments does include some
companies which do business in South Africa. These com-
panies suscribe to the Sullivan principles which call for prac-
tices to provide greater opportunities for the groups which are
not part of the ruling minority white population.

A petition which was signed by more than 200 people on our
campus in October and which was presented to the Student Af-
fairs Committee of the Board of Trustees and by the Commit-
tee to the Board itself asked the Board what thought has been
given to the issue of apartheid and what position the Trustees
wish the College to maintain. The petition included the addi-
tional questions: "What dialogue, if any, has taken place
among your ranks regarding apartheid? Do you wish to take a
position at this time?" The Board of Trustees agreed to
discuss these issues at their January meeting, and, therefore,
it would be premature to guess what the Board might decide to
do concerning our investments in South Africa.

In my opinion, it is very important that all members of the
campus constituencey, as well as the Board of Trustees, in-
form ourselves of the complicated issues regarding investment
and divestment in South Africa. While all of us are adamantly
opposed to the system of apartheid which South Africa prac-
tices, there are various opinions as to the effectiveness of
divestment as a strategy for inprovement. I hope that all
members of the college community will become imformed in-
dividually and collectively concerning these issues which are
of the prime importance at this time.

(Continued from Page 2)

the 1984-1985 Mortar Board
cancelled all Black Cat pranks
last year. I went to one of the
first Mortar Board meetings
last spring planning to
reinstate pranks — at any
cost. Most of the other
members also had this in
mind. We tried to make
everyone happy: a faculty and
administration who were
against pranks and a student
body who "needed" pranks in
order to have a fun Black Cat.

We made the decision not to
have "individual" pranks
because they could not and
should not be regulated. But,
you may say, pranks are allow-
ed at any other time; what is
different about this one week?
No matter how much we, as
students, would like to believe
otherwise, Mortar Board has
become "traditionally"
responsible for student action
during the week of Black Cat.
If you do not believe this, just
ask Holly Rogers why Dean
Hudson called her early the
morning after second Buttrick
was "rolled." (The rolling oc-

curred the Thursday night / Fri-
day morning of Black Cat
Week).

As a professor here once
said, anything that happens
one time at Agnes Scott
automatically becomes a
tradition, and traditions die
hard. Maybe Mortar Board
stated a new tradition with the
class prank; it is too soon to
tell. No one can, however,
dispute the fact that this year,
Black Cat was a success. I
even heard a certain
outspoken junior say that the
class prank was fun.

Like Milo, I may "bias"
readers of The Profile because
of my position. I was at those
Mortar Board meetings; I am a
member and officer of the
senior class; and yes, I was
present at the "infamous"
around -t he-world party;
however, I submit this letter as
a member of the ASC com-
munity who tried to observe all
of these activities objectively.
Sincerely,
Agnes K. Parker
Class of 1986

by Elizabeth Mullis

It's 2 a.m. the night before
deadline. I sit alone in my
room listening to the heating
system creak and rumble like
Dicken's ghost of Christmas
past. A stack of books leaning
like the Tower of Piza looms in
front of my eyes. I still have
three articles to write. My list
of "things to do" has just ex-
panded itself to yet a third
sheet of yellow legal pad
paper.

BUT WAIT! isn't there an old
Star Trek rerun on channel 46?
One more hour won't matter.

Does this scenario sound
familiar? With exam time fast
approaching, I thought you'd
like to hear a few pointers on
the fine art of procrastination.
(And believe me ladies ad
gentlemen, I am the queen pro-
crastinator).

1. Make a list of things you
must do. Revise it. Color code
items according to impor-
tance. Schedule each item in-
to a time slot. (Don't forget to
include list-making time.)

2. Go to Kroger to buy bagels
and cream cheese (great brain
food). You might also run into
an interesting-looking Emory
student out to buy Haagen-
dazs Rum Raisin and razor
blades. Browse through the
magazines. Count the number

of times Linda Evans appears
on the covers.

3. Rearrange your room.

4. Write to every person in your
address book— even if you
haven't heard from them since
they signed it at your high
school graduation.

5. Work out your schedule for
the remaining years at Agnes
Scott. Again, color coded pens
are nice.

6. Get orders from everyone on
the hall and drive to Burger
King. Go through the drive-thru
and insist that all twenty-
seven orders be rung separate-
ly.

7. Go work-out in the weight
room. Though you haven't
lifted much more than your
fork to your mouth all quarter,
four days before you run home
( and eat yourself silly at the
Thanksgiving family dinner) is
the perfect time to begin effec-
tive weight training.

8. Sort through your sock
drawer. Tie mated socks
together. Search the laundry
room for unmated ones. Throw
helplessly unpaired or pitifully
bedraggled ones into a shoe
box at the bottom of the

closet. (Who knows when you
might find a use for them.)

9. Wash all your dishes— even
those with left-over Stouffer's
Lean Cuisine lasagna baked
on at the beginning of the
quarter.

10. Buy the Color Me Beautiful
book and have a color party
with your friends to decide
which season you are. (Heaven
forbid you be a winter and
wear chocolate-brown!)

11. Reread the Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy for the
fourth time.

12. Buy soap bubbles and have
a Lawrence Welk festival in
you room.

13. Take all make-up off and
count the number of veins in
your eyelids.

14. Clean out the hall
refrigerator. Keep only that
which doesn't move or still is
in some recognizable, edible
form.

15. Call everyone in the con-
tinental United States that you
know.

16. Floss your teeth. (You
know you don't do it regularly.)

17. Make out your Christmas
card list.

Milo Describes Senior Syndrome

by Milo Scott

It's the end of Fall Quarter
and suddenly a new essence
has filled the air.

It rises out of Inman and
selected rooms throughout
the campus and destroys all
semblance of peace. It can be
seen in the panic-filled eyes of
any senior one passes in the
halls of Buttrick.

It is a disease acquired by
every senior at this time each
year. It is the final ingredient
that converts the girl to
woman. It's called Senior
Panic.

The patient is usually struck
down suddenly when one day
her father questions casually:
"So what are you going to do
in June?" Reality strikes
home. Visions of resumes, in-
terviews, apartments, bills,
mortages and new wardrobes
clutter the mind of the sick.
Her symptoms range from
restyling her hair to weeping
hysterically.

Words of warning — From
now until mid-June, it is ad-
visable for all underclassmen,
faculty or friends to avoid the
following questions: "So, what
are you planning to do when
you graduate?"

Let me give you some case
studies of seniors I have
observed in recent weeks.

First, there's Lynn. (All
names have been changes to
protect the guilty.) She has
dated several guys per week
since her freshman year. The
sickness set in, and suddenly
she's settled down to one
young man. She's dropping
hints abut rings to her friends,
and he's clueless. This version
of Senior Panic is called the
Race for the Rings.

Next, there's Sally who is
convinced that she will die or
the world will end between
now and June, thus preventing
her from making a decision.
This is the Delusion of
Escapism.

Another form of the disease
is manifested in Jill's
behavior. Every morning she
tunes into 94Q in order to
listen for the $10,000 song.
This strain of Senior Panic is
close to the other two;
however, it is instant riches
these almost graduates wish
for so they will be able to live
independently. This strain is
called the Delusion of Gran-
dure.

The last variety of the
disease is characterized in
Anne. She has applied to 75
graduate programs in the past
few months. The programs
range from law to interna-
tional poetry. Here we see the
Perpetual Student Syndrome.

Senior Panic is not a perma-
nent disease. It is healed at
the latest by mid-June. So all
you non-seniors be sym-
pathetic to the poor suffering
souls around you. Hug a
senior today.

University Center Guidelines For Cross Registration

Guidelines For Cross
Registration Among University
Center Member Institutions

1. The purpose of cross
registration is to provide op-
portunities for enriched educa-
tional programs by permitting
students at any University
Center institution to take
courses at any other member
institutions.

2. Each student desiring to
cross register must have the
recommendation of the chief
academic officer or his / her
designated representative at
the home institution. The
home institution is the institu-
tion at which the student is
principally enrolled and the
host institution the one at
which the student is cross
registered.

3. Cross registraton may
be pursued for courses not of-
fered at the home institution
for the given term.

4. A student may cross
register only for courses for
which he / she is eligible and
has met the prerequisites as
defined by the home and host
institutions.

5. A student may not cross
register for more than a total
of 18 semesters or 30 quarter
hours. Exceptions may be con-
sidered by the designated of-
ficial at the home institution.
A qualified student may cross
register in a maximum of two
courses per term and the com-
bined load may not exceed the
full-time load on the home
campus.

6. Any course required for
the major must be approved by
the department of the home in-
stitution prior to cross
registration.

7. First priority in registra-
tion will be given to students
of the host institution; cross
registration students will be
accepted on availability of
space and after the home
students have been con-
sidered.

8. The academic regula-
tions and rules of conduct of

the host institution will apply
to cross registrants. The host
institution will determine
whether its rules have or have
not been violated. The home
institution will also impose
such penalties as it deems
proper when violations occur.

9. Courses taken in cross
registration will appear for
credit on the transcript of the
home institution. The credit
will be recorded according to
the policies of the home in-
stitution.

10. For all courses taken,
the tuition and fees will be at
the rate of the home institu-
tion and paid to the home in-
stitution.

11. Cross registration does
not apply to summer sessions
at any of the member institu-
tions.

12. The decision whether to
offer a course will be made ac-
cording to the policies of the
host institution and need not
take into account the enroll-
ment or potential enrollment
of visiting students in that
course.

13. Cross registration will
normally be limited to
undergraduate students and
undergraduate curriculum dur-
ing the experimental study;
however, with the concurrence
of both the home and host in-
stitution, exceptions may be
made to include graduate pro-
grams and graduate students.

14. Cross registration
students are eligible to use
such facilities on the campus
of the host institutions as are
essential to the completion of
the cross registered course.

15. The cross registered pro-
gram as described above will
be an experimental program
for three years during which
time there will be an ongoing
evaluation.

Agnes Scott College
University Center Cross

under the cross registration
arrangement of the Center
must proceed as follows:

1) Obtain a University
Center Cross Registration
form from the Associate Dear
of the College.

2) Fill out the University
Center Cross Registration
Form completely. The form re-
quires the approval of David
Behan and the department
chair (if appropriate).

3) The student returns the

There were many new faces
on campus Thursday, October
31 and Friday, November 1 for
a busy two days of getting to
know ASC at the annual Oc-
toberquest. Octoberquest was
organized and implemented by
the Admissions Office and the
Student Admissions
Representatives to provide
high school seniors a chance
to investigate ASC.

Phones rang and papers
flew in the weeks of prepara-
tion before Octoberquest '85.
SAR's met in September and
began planning in order to
avoid last minute confusion.
There were name tags to type,
welcome packets to put
together, classes to schedule,
room assignments to be
found, and much more.

Trudy Smith, president of
the SAR's, lauded these stu-
dent volunteers: "The SAR's
were all just great. It was so
exciting to see all the new
faces on campus and to tell
them about Agnes Scott."

4) The student is not al-
lowed to pre-register. Registra-
tion will be on a space
available basis. Communica-
tion from the host institution
will specify the time and date
on which the student must
register.

5) For all courses taken as a
University Center cross
registration student, the tui-
tion and fees will be at the rate
of the home institution and
paid to the home institution.

6) The student must request
that the Registrar's Office of
the host institution send an of-
fical transcript, without
charge, to the student's home
institution upon completion of
the term.

7) The student must com-
plete new cross registration
forms for any subsequent
terms in which she wishes to
participate in the cross

Dr. Parry Speaks at Investiture

by Beth Brubaker

On Sunday, October 27, Dr.
Richard Parry spoke at the
ceremony of Senior In-
vestiture. Parry's speech, titl-
ed "A Good Place to Be," in-
cluded an encouraging
message to seniors of the im-
portance of a liberal arts
education. Parry said that he
enjoyed watching the students
of Agnes Scott grow from girls
to women with the knowledge
and maturity to be responsi-
ble, critically thinking adults
in today's world.

President Schmidt opened
the service with a brief devo-
tion which was followed by a

selection by the Agnes Scott
Glee Club. In the actual
ceremony of investiture, Dean
Hudson read the name of each
senior, who then went up on
stage holding her mortar
board and Dean Hall placed
the mortar board on the
senior's head. This year's in-
vestiture service was the first
one in which both of the of-
ficiating deans were Agnes
Scott alumnae who had
themselves been through the
ceremony of investiture.

There was a reception
following the ceremony in the
Terrace Dining Room for all of
the seniors and their guests.

Students Visit For October Quest

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1985 * THE AGNES SCOTT PROFILE * PAGE 5

Economics Majors Travel to Hilton Head

by Laura Smith

The yearly jaunt of the
Economics Department to
Hilton Head Island occurred
last weekend.

Every year Dr. Weber leads a
courageous band of
economics majors to storm
the island and attend a con-
ference on Christian Faith and
Economic Values sponsored
by the First Presbyterian
Church. This year he was join-
ed by the new addition to the
Economics Department, Dr.
Rosemary Cunningham.

Students attending were
Pam Tipton, Hope HIM, Laura
Smith, Mercy Badia, Melissa
Martin, Edie Hsung, Heather
Mosley, Monica Duque, Maria
McGinnis, Beverly Jones, Beth
Carpenter, and Elaine Crosby.
Departing the school at 8 a.m.
on Thursday (actually it was
closer to 9 before the mound
of luggage was loaded) the
group arrived on the island in
time for a leisurely stroll on
the beach.

After a shocking view of the
cabins previous groups have
inhabited, they proceeded
across the street to the lux-
urious rooms in the Hilton
Head Inn provided by Mr. Bob-
by Guinn.

At meetings that evening,
Landon Flowers, retired chair-
man of the board for Flowers
Bakery, presented a brief
evolution of their business
philosophy. Following his
discussion, one student from
each college addressed one of
five controversial questions
that were the focus of the sym-
posium.

Beth Carpenter represented
Agnes Scott, discussing her
views on how the Christian
faith is relevant to the debate
between Capitalism and Marx-
ism.

The focus of other ques-
tions were: 1) The obligation of
our country to reduce interna-
tional poverty; 2) Balancing
the national budget; 3) Revi-
sion of the federal income tax;
4) Areas of the budget to be
cut or expanded.

Though all were drained
after the lengthy meetings,
leave it up to the women from
ASC to seek the nearest
"watering hole!" Joined by the
crew from Hampton-Sydney
(with William Weber, of
course, leading the way) the
group headed for Ruby
Tuesdays.

The second day the
students were routed out of
bed at daylight (or it felt iike it)
to attend more meetings. The
first speaker was a dynamic
businesswoman from the
Hilton Head community, Linda
Lucus, who discussed
pointers for successful
business careers.

The next speaker gave an
excellent performance, il-
luminating the minds of all
those in the room. Giving a
speech on Reduction of Pover-
ty through International Trade
was ASC's own dear Dr.
William Weber (Now do I get
an A, sir?). The students then
broke up into discussion
groups to tackle the questions
addressed the previous even-
ing.

The afternoon was by far the
highlight of the trip. The party
sailed for two hours in a
fourty-eight foot, two-masted
yacht owned by Charles
Frazier, developer of the
island. Dr. Weber and the pilot,
Peter, kept everyone scramb-
ling for toe and hand holds as
the boat keeled over to the
point that water was coming
over the railing.

After the students returned
and changed, they antagoniz-
ed the waiter at CQ's and
arrived late (in true Tipton
fashion) to the final session.

Hope Hill reported for her
discussion group during the
panel discussion, but this
writer couldn't tell you much
because she kept falling into a
white-wine-induced sleep.

The group hosted several
college delegations to a wine
and cheese party afterwards.
Then they all decended upon
the White Parrot.

Several students ended the
evening with a leisurely stroll
down the beach in the moon
light. Rising early but leaving

late, the crew left Hilton Head.
The island was a mere shadow
of itself when we finally left it
in peace. Several experts have
estimated that it will take a
full year for the island to
recover — just in time for the
next group!

Riding back in the van, ASC
students feasted on stale
Doritoes, and jammed to
Lionel Richie, Chicago and
Footloose.

They drove past the Savan-
nah river plant where all the
hydrogen bombs in the U.S.
are built — it was fascinating
to watch the steam come up
off the rivers. (I just can't
figure out why my hair fell out
this morning). Upon arriving
home, all crawled back to their
beds and CRASHED!

All in all, a good time was
had by everyone.

*A special note to all
sophomores and freshmen —
this is an excellent example of
the work required in the
Economics Discipline. See Dr.
Weber for further details.

College Bowl Tournament

Exercise
regularly-

# American"**
Association

by Angela Tonn

On Friday, November 1, the
Agnes Scott College Bowl
team set off for Berry College
in Rome, Georgia, where the
first tournament of the year
was to take place. College
Bowl is Trivial Pursuit with
buzzers or, if you prefer,
Jeopardy in teams.

At Rome, Georgia, the team
was greeted with a scene from
a familiar horror movie. There
before the nine hearty souls of
the College Bowl team stood
motel hell. Most self-
respecting roaches would
have been thoroughly appall-
ed. The swimming pool could
have easily housed the
creature from the black lagoon
and the night clerk looked like

Norman Bates. Despite the
great hardships, the members
of the A.S.C. teams, Julie
Blewer, Daphne Burt, Dale
Elder, Angela Howard,
Deborah Marean, Ginny
Rosenburg, Caroline Sigman
and co-captains, Pramode Rao
and Angela Tonn, played very
well. The team is very young
with only the team captains
returning from last year.

The team was victorious
over Florida State and Dalton,
and A.S.C. B defeated A.S.C.
A. There were also close mat-
ches with Emory, Davidson
and Georgia Tech. With the
determination already present
and a bit more practice the
team should have a great year.

chores, but her effort fails to
get her anything but a "D".
And to top that off, the next
time this generic Agnes Scott
student takes a shower, so-
meone forgets to yell "Hot
Water!" Oh, the Agnes Scott
blues.

After a long ovation, so-
meone from the audience sug-
gested that Dr. Edgerton sing
another song. So, Dr. Edgerton
played a little ditty on the
piano about a bar in a Texas
town where the general at-
titude toward yankees is "if
you ain't six feet tall, you ain't
much of Texas. We eat
snakes, steaks, and eggs, and
eat Ph.D.'s for breakfast."

After the "lecture", a wine
and cheese party was held for
the faculty discussion leaders,
Orientation Council, Senior
Counselors, and invited
guests.

Ms. Hoffman said that the
following day, Dr. Brown
observed, "In Maclean we had
100 people, but it sounded like
500 with the applause." In-
deed, the audience was very
appreciative of the laughter
and warm feelings that Dr.
Clyde Edgerton brought to the
auditorium. Sophomore Angie
Howard put it best when she
said, "I loved the readings and
songs. They reminded me of
home."

Truman
Scholarship

The Harry S. Truman
Scholarship Foundation has
announced that it is now seek-
ing nominations of outstand-
ing students in any academic
discipline who are preparing
for careers in public service.

Institutions can nominate
up to two sophomores for the
1986 competition. If selected,
each student will receive a
scholarship award covering
eligible expenses up to $5,000
per year for their junior and
senior years and two years of
graduate study.

The deadline for nomination
is December 1. Eligible
students must be full-time
sophomores working toward
or planning to pursue a bac-
calaureate degree, have a "B"
average or equivalent, stand in
the upper fourth of the class,
and be a U.S. citizen or U.S. na-
tional heading toward a career
in government.

Interested students should
speak to the Truman Scholar-
ship Faculty Representative
whose name should be posted
on campus, or write the
Truman Scholarship Review
Committee, CN 6302,

well as household chores.
They don't get to bed until
around midnight. That combin-
ed with a yearly pregnancy
and it's no wonder they're

In spite of this cultural dif-
ference, Agnes Scott has
opened its doors to exchange
students and may offer trips to
the French speaking sister
cities as part of the global

Awareness Program.

Decatur's marriage to its
sister cities and Agnes Scott's
Global Awareness Program
are aimed at developing a
sense of international friend-
ship which will begin to
equalize the burdens of strug-
gling countries. For Agnes
Scott, the first step is caring
for women's lives around the
world. .

UN Women Conference:

A Lesson in "the
Realities of Women"

by Adlen Walker

Although most of us at
Agnes Scott have heard about
the U.N. Conference for
Women, suprisingly few of us
know what the Conference ac-
complished or entailed.
Women journeyed to Mairobi,
Kenya from all facets and
walks of life to attend the Con-
ference, and it is imperative
that we know what happened
when these women came
together.

Even though Agnes Scott is
our treasure— our place of
higher education — it is also
our protective solace from
many cruel realities in the
"outside" world. By reading
about and listening to those
who attended the U.N. Con-
ference, we have a wonderful
opportunity to really feel what
women from all over the world
feel.

We are fortunate to have in
our midst, Dr. Deirdre Good,
chair of the Bible and Religion
Department here at Agnes
Scott. Dr. Good traveled to
Kenya last summer where she

attended the NGO Forum and
the U.N. Conference. She
represented Province Four, the
Southeastern part of the U.S.
Episcopal Delegation. For Dr.
Good, the Conference was not
only a chance to hear from
part of the world's population
we never hear from, but also a
chance to understand "the
Realities of Women."

The U.N. Conference made
an offering of unity to all
women, and this offering was
accepted. Attending the Con-
ference were women of all
ages, colors and backgrounds.
Representatives of the
economically deprived, vic-
tims of apartheid as well as
the education and the affluent
merged together. Dr. Good
said the Conference was ". .
.an opportunity for a complete
education. . .Education for sur-
vival. . .it offered the oppor-
tunity to realize that one can
affect the community one lives
in." As an example applicable
in our own society, Dr. Good
remarked, "It is not enought to
be enraged about oppressed

"At ASC we do not often experience
oppression, thus it is not something we
can come together over — But we can
celebrate diversity and respect for
cultural and social differences. We do
not need to be homogenous." ■ Dr.
Diedre Good

women— we must do
something about oppressed
women in our own back yard!"

Dr. Good is right! It is
heartening to exist on a cam-
pus where women mutually
respect and are respected by
one another, but let us not
forget the "real" world. There
are oppressed women in
South Africa; there are op-
pressed women down the
street. Both need voices and
support.

Dr. Good said "At ASC we
do not often experience op-
pression, thus it is not
something we can come
together over— But we can
celebrate diversity and respect
for cultural and social dif-
ferences. We do not need to be
homogeneous!"

In my mind, the U.N. Con-
ference represents a unique
bond of fellowship which only
women can achieve on the
basis of an understanding of
and respect for diversity. The
Conference offered insight in-
to women's lives which in
many ways proved to be

distressing.

In the September/October
issue of Southern Feminist,
Dr. Good said "Of course there
were moments of frustration,
of despair and doubt. But over-
whelming effect of the Forum
was to create an atmosphere
in which one could feel the
generative energy of women
together." This feeling is best
expressed in the words of a
song sung by combined choirs
of women at the opening
ceremony of the NGO Froum:

The women of Kenya, let's

build the world
Chorus: Women of the world,

we build the nations
Harambee, together we build

the world
All women of Africa, let's build

the world
We plough the land and build

the nations
We care for the children and

build the world
We preach peace to all the
na tions

All women on Earth, let's sing
together."

Thompson: A New Face at ASC

Dr. Peggy Thompson. Photo by Monica Duque.

by Beverly Garcia

Dr. Peggy Thompson is a
new professor this year at
ASC. She has enjoyed
teaching here and likes living
in Atlanta with her husband
and four year old son.

Dr. Thompson has an array
of impressive degrees. She
received her B.A. and Masters
degrees in Humanities at
Arizona State University. This
degree included concentra-
tions in English Literature,
Philosophy, Art, and Music.
Her main interests from all
these were English and
Literature.

When she became in-
terested in philosophy Dr.
Thompson decided to attend

Emory University where she
received her Masters, then
continued to receive her
Masters and Ph.D. in English
at Indiana University.

Dr. Thompson is originally
from South Dakota. She has
had some teaching experience
at Arizona State where she
taught an Introduction to
Humanities course and also at
Indiana University where
Literature and Composition
among others were her special
subjects.

She is enjoying teaching at
ASC and hopes to continue
teaching here in the future. Dr.
Thompson likes the students
here because they are more
hardworking and responsive

than most other students she
has come in contact with at
other institutions. She also en-
joys the faculty, especially
within her department, and
finds them encouraging and
supportive. She is very much
interested in dramatic
literature and has had the op-
portunity to attend some local
Atlanta plays.

Unfortunately, because of
her busy schedule she does
not always have the time to in-
dulge in her favorite hobbies
and sports, so all or most of
her spare time is spent with
her family.

This quarter Dr. Thompson
teaches freshman English and
a course on Pope and Swift.

Nelathi: One of a

Kind at Agnes Scott

Nelathi shows her class spirit. Photo by Monica Duque.

by Beverly Garcia

Imagine being a stranger in
a foreign country. Many ad-
justments must be made in
order to fit in and to enjoy the
culture. This year's freshman
international student is
Nelathi Nanayakkara, and she
has adjusted just fine.

Nelathi is originally from Sri

Lanka and had never been to
the United States, so this has
certainly been an experience
for her.

Sri Lanka is a very small
island off the coast of India.
The capital is Colombo, where
Nelathi lives. It is quite
populated and industrialized
unlike the rest of the country

which is very much rural and
agricultural. Its major exports
are tea, rubber and coconut.

As a student in high school
she thought about coming to
the United States and getting
her degree here. She had
already been receiving infor-
mation from ASC and finalized
her plans by deciding on this
college.

Though only here for a few
months she has made an easy
adjustment and seems to like
it.

Nelathi plans to major in
Sociology and Psychology,
then return to her country to
further her studies.

When asked why she chose
a woman's college instead of
a large co-ed university she ex-
plained how all women's col-
leges were not foreign to her.
In Sri Lanka all secondary

Rep Rap: The Quarter in Review

schools are segregated. There
are girls and boys schools. So,
consequently, she found at-
tending a woman's college the
natural thing to do.

Even though she likes it
here, she naturally gets
homesick and misses her
mother and younger brother
back home.

Nelathi also finds living in
the U.S. very different from
home. In Sri Lanka the two
languages spoken are
Singhalese, which is spoken
mostly by the Buddhists, and
Tamil which is spoken by the
Hindu. Nelathi, however, does
not seem to have any trouble
with English and speaks it
almost perfectly.

She finds ASC very deman-
ding and feels that studying is
certainly what she does most.

Also, while being here she
has been introduced to new at-
titudes about social life.
Dating in her home country is
not very important and most

students who further their
studies at the university level
chose to begin dating serious-
ly during their twenties.

Nelathi has had the oppor-
tunity to visit Atlanta and
hopes to see some more of the
U.S. by travelling during her
Christmas vacation. She won't
be going home for maybe a
year or two, and it would be
safe to say that she will be
waiting patiently for that day.

Talking to Nelathi was in-
deed a pleasure just because
she is so very friendly and ex-
cited when talking about
herself and her home country
of Sri Lanka. She considers all
the students at ASC to be very
friendly and the faculty patient
and encouraging.

Nelathi is enjoying this
great experience of learning
about this country. There is no
doubt that this eager and
friendly young lady will ac-
complish anything she sets
out to do. Good luck!

Rep has had a highly pro-
ductive quarter under the
guidance of our president, "lit-
tle" Ruth (not to be confused
with "big" Ruth, President
Schmidt). Although some of
our accomplishments may not
appear monumental, each one
reflects thorough discussion
and debate during at least one
of Rep's Tuesday night
meetings. We've tried to ad-
dress the issues which most
concern the campus com-
munity and have worked on
ideas to improve student life
at Agnes Scott.

To begin with, the most im-
portant part of our lives,
food— Food committee has
been very active this quarter.
I'm sure that no one has miss-
ed the addition of the CHEESE
on the salad bar. Any mouse
would be in heaven with that
huge bowl in front of him! This
exemplifies Food committee's
purpose: relating to Epicure
the students' opinions and
having the suggestions
honestly evaluated. In addi-
tion, Food committee and
Epicure were responsible for
our Halloween treats and

festivities. Too bad we won't
be here for a Christmas
celebration.

Catalyst has been working
hard this quarter on the many
projects that Ben has
deligated to it. Banking hours
will be changed to allow for
some afternoon banking. The
anticipated emergency sheets
presently on dorm doors have
seen their last quarter due to
Catalyst's action of creating
updated sheets. The drinking
hours in the Hub have been
altered to reflect the absence
gf drinking lounged in dorms.
For those who are unable to go
home during the semester,
Thanksgiving break proposed
guidelines have been devised.
Finally, Catalyst has proven
that indeed the library hours
are not written in stone.
Library hours have been ex-
tended on certain weekend
nights prior to exam times.

Next quarter A.S.C. will be
able to see the fall efforts of
Publicity committee. Begin-
ning in the winter, the doors
covered with various
messages which create an
unattractive cluttered sight,
will be eliminated. Physical

plant will erect an octagonal
bulletin board and this, along
with additional space in the
mail room, will serve as the
campus informing area.

The automated teller
machine (ATM) have also been
a main issue at Rep. This sub-
ject is likely to be discussed in
many future Rep meetings.
Perhaps this will be the Third
coming (the microwaves take
the honor of being the
Second)!

Rep has experienced an in-
flux of young talent with the
addition of our new Freshman
reps this quarter, Carolyn
Weaver and Sharon
Hargraves. In addition, in the
just plain talent category (well,
she's an OLD Sophomore),
Rep is pleased to have Sarah
Copenhaver as a Sophomore
rep.

It's been a very busy and ex-
citing quarter for Rep, and if
you've missed our meetings
(all 500 of you), please stop by
any Tuesday night at 6:30 in
the gorgeous board room in
the library. If this time is in-
convenient for you, please
contact your local Rep
member with your ideas.

ASC Welcomes Ebriel

by Louisa Parker

Madame Ebriel, originally
form Newark, New Jersey, is
Agnes Scott's new professor
who teaches 01 and 101
French classes. Spring quarter
she will also teach a course of
17th century French literature.

She recieved her Bachelor
of Arts degree from the Unver-
sity of Wisconsin, and while
she was still an
undergraduate, she attended
the Faculte des Lettres of the
University of Aix-Marseille, in
Aix-en-Provence, France. She
recieved her M.A. and Ph.D.
from Harvard University
where, as a teaching fellow,
she taught French Language
and French literature for the
Renaissance through the
twentieth century. She also
taught in the Harvard Exten-
sion, an evening adult educa-
tion program.

Madame Ebriel's area of
specialization at Harvard was
French literature of the nine-
teenth and twentieth cen-
truies. She is also interested in
the history of art. Her Ph.D.

dissertation was on the early
twentieth century poet
Guillaume Apollinaire, and the
relationship of his work to that
of his friends among the
painters of his time, including
Picasso and Robert Delaunay.

After recieving her degree,
Mme. Ebriel taught at Georgia
State University. While at
Georgia State, she was also
enrollled as a graduate stu-
dent in conferance
(simultaneous and con-
secutive) interpretation. She
explains about this course,
"This program complemented
my experience as a translator.
It also gave me a new perspec-
tive on the applications of
language study in finance, in-
ternational relations, etc."

She concludes, "Since my
arrival this September, I have
enjoyed Agnes Scott very
much. I have particularly en-
joyed getting to know my
students and colleagues. I
look forward, too, to knowing
you all better as the year pro-
gresses."

Is There an Overman at Agnes Scott?

by Gretchen A. Pfeifer

You might not have realized
it, but Agnes Scott is undergo-
ing more than physical change
. . . There is a philosophical
dialectic taking place in the
form of Dr. Gerald Elfstrom.

He received his B.A. in
philosophy from Cornell Col-
lege in Iowa in 1967. Two years
later he completed his
Masters degree at Emory,
where he later earned his
Ph.D. When asked, "Why
philosophy?" Dr. Elfstrom
replied, "I did not choose
philosophy — it chose me."
His areas of greatest interest
are ethics and political
philosophy.

Dr. Elfstrom taught for four
years after his Ph.D. at Morris
Brown College, then in 1980 he
taught at Emory for three
years thereafter until his ar-
rival at Agnes Scott. When his
colleagues asked him why he
came to ASC Dr. Elfstrom
stated, "I've got bigger fish to
fry."

Dr. Elfstrom is in the final
process of publishing a book,
with co-author Nicholas Fo-
tion, called Military Ethics,
due on the market by April
1986. The book analyzes the
moral problems involved in the
use of military force. "We
show a full array of such pro-
blems, how the moral issues

behind them are interrelated
and we give ideas on how
these problems should be
handled," explains Dr.
Elfstrom.

Apart from his book and
teaching part-time at ASC, Dr.
Elfstrom enjoys jogging,
reading and an occasional law
/ philosophical study group
which informally meets at
Emory to discuss specific
issues of interest. Dr. Elfstrom
believes that, "making contact
with people of other
disciplines increases one's
knowledge." Also, since he
acknowledges the fact that he
is continually learning, Dr.
Elfstrom remarks that "the

best way to learn something is
to teach it." He is currently
teaching a Kant class and a
Phenomenology & Existen-
tialism class. Next quarter he
will be teaching Political &
Legal Philosophy and Modern
Philosophy.

Dr. Elfstrom finds ASC
students "hard-working and
eager to learn." He is impress-
ed by the "strong sense of
community," and notices
"everyone's concern, faculty
included, with the value of a
liberal arts education."

Philosopher Elfstrom leaves
us with one final thought: "If
there is no flower pot, you
can't throw it out the window."

evaluations of equipment can
be found in the Academic
Computer Center located in
McCain Library.

Q.What kind of computer
should I buy?

A.This depends upon your
needs and other computers
which you will use. Since we
mostly have IBM PC com-
puters at Agnes Scott,
students and faculty may want

to maintain compatibility with
IBM.

Q.Why does ASC have
IBMs?

A. An evaluation of
microcomputers by the Coor-
dinator in the summer of 1983
indicated that IBM outranked
other available computers on
most of the eleven variables.
Also, IBM gave us $100,000
worth of equipment in
December, 1984.

Q.What is an IBM-
compatible computer?

A. A computer made by
another manufacturer that
runs most software that is
written for the IBM PC. The ad-
vantage is that these com-
puters cost less than the IBM.
A disadvantage is that you
may have problems running
some software that otherwise
runs fine on the IBM. If the
company goes out of business
you may wind up with a
"computer orphan." For fur-

ther information see Con-
sumer Reports, October, 1985.

Q. Should I get a color
monitor or a monochrome?

A. Monochrome display
monitors have sharp images
suitable for word processing,
but generally do not allow
capability for graphics. A color
monitor has less sharp letters,
but allows for color charts and
graphics. (See Consumer
Reports, July, 1985). A Her-
cules Graphics Card permits
graphics to be seen on a
monochrome screen.

Q.What printer do I need?

A. Evaluate the quality of
print compared with what you
have to spend. (See Consumer
Reports, June, 1985). For the
time being, focus on the com-
puter, and use our printers.

Q.How about software?

A. Most students and faculty
will first need a word-
processing package. At Agnes
Scott we use WordStar and

Biology Department Sponsors Trip

by Louisa Parker

This past summer, for six
weeks, Shannon Adair, Donna
Doorley, Pat Grant, Kathy
Kirkland, Laura Robinson,
Susie Somerlot, Patti
Spellman and Carol Valentine
went with Dr. John Pilger on a
biology excursion on the
Georgia and Florida coasts
and in Jamaica.

They examined marine
organisms in temperate, semi-
temperate and tropical en-
vironments.

Dr. Pilger takes eight
students on the educational
trip every other summer. Each
time he tries to visit a different
tropical area: two years ago he
traveled to the Florida Keys.

this year he went to Jamacia,
and next year he hopes to visit
either San Salvador in the
Bahamas or the Yucatan.

Dr. Pilger explains that
other marine biology courses
offered elsewhere are usually
at one place and in one en-
vironment. ASC's is the only
course that contains different
environments: marshes,
estuaries, sandy beaches, bar-
rier islands, rock shoals,
mangroves and coral reefs.
"The only habitants missing
are the deep sea and arctic."
Dr. Pilger laughs.

The course also covers
other aspects of marine
biology such as pollution, the
effects of human intervention

on Midline environments, and
oceanography from space.
Students get to snorkel and
scuba if they are certified.

Donna Doorley remarks, "I
think everybody who's in-
terested in biology should do
either the desert trip or the
marine biology trip because it
helps you decide what kind of
biology you'd like to get into."
She continues that the trip
gives students a feel for what
Dr. Pilger does and helps them
ide what kinds of careers
,ney would like.

Sometimes Dr. Pilger shows
a slide-show after the trip, and
he designs tee-shirts that all
the girls buy and wear. Donna
concludes, "It's a lot of fun."

Microsoft Word. For numbers,
information management, and
graphics one should consider
a sophisticated electronic
spreadsheet. At Agnes Scott
we have Lotus 1-2-3. For an in-
tegrated approach we have
Symphony, but this is limited
to computers with much more
memory. See Consumer
Reports, Sept. and Mar., 1985.

Q.How can I learn to use my
new computer?

A. Student aids in the com-
puter center can provide the
help you need. If there is
enough interest, we can have
workshops.

Q.Where can I buy equip-
ment at the best price?

A. Consider the equipment
you need and check prices in
the business section of the
Sunday editions of the Atlanta
Journal and Constitution or

other leading newspapers.
Also check PC Week and other
publications in the Computer
Center. You should be able to
purchase an IBM PC for 20%
under list price. IBM list prices
can be obtained at the IBM
Product Center near
Cumberland Mall.

Q.I want to become an IBM
"power user"— what do you
suggest?

A. Consider an IBM XT with
two, half-height floppy
diskette drives and a hard
disk. If you cannot afford the
hard disk, buy it later. An AST
Six-Pack Plus will boost your
memory to 640K and give you a
clock-calendar. A Hayes
1200B Smartmodem will give
you ability to access data
bases over the telephone
lines. A good way to go from
riches to rags.!

"Gone With The Wind" Collection Comes to Decatur

For the first in a series of
special exhibits, the DeKalb
Historial Society has chosen
as the subject Atlanta's very
own classic, Gone With the
Wind. Beginning November 19,
Herb Bridges' "Gone With the
Wind" collection will be on ex-
hibit at the Old Courthouse on
the Square in Decatur. This
will be the first time that
Bridges has been able to show
his collection in its entirety.

A life-long resident of the lit-
tle Georgia town of Sharp-
sburg, Bridges has been a
Gone With the Wind fan for
many years. He began his col-
lection of memorabilia from
the book and film over twenty
years ago. Today, he is the
owner of one of the world's
largest GWTW collection, a
collection which includes pro-
perties and costume pieces
from the MGM film, countless
first editions from the United
States and around the world,
and one-of-a-kind novelties
produced after the novel's
publication in 1936.

A recognized authority on
the film and novel of Gone
With the Wind, Bridges is the
author of three books on the
subject: Scarlett Fever;

Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh in Gone With The Wind.

Favorite Scenes From "Gone
With the Wind"; and The Film-
ing of "Gone With the Wind".
The "Herb Bridges Presenta-
tion" is a favorite with
Atlanta's many visitors. He is
a frequent lecturer around the
country, speaking to social
and civic groups as well as
college and university au-

diences. He is also the author
of a syndicated newspaper
column on show business
news.

Bridges has appeared on
such nationally-televised pro-
grams as ABC's "Good Morn-
ing, America," "To Tell the
Truth," "PM Magazine," and
"The Mike Douglas Show." His

White Nights" With Baryshnikov

Isabella Rossellini and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Jazz Artist McFerrin
to Return to Atlanta

"White Nights," from Col-
umbia Pictures, starring
Mikhail Baryshnikov and
Gregory Hines, will open in
time for Christmas. Produced
by Taylor Hackford and
William S. Gilmore and
directed by Taylor Hackford,
the film co-stars Isabella
Rossellini, Geraldine Page,
Helen Mirren and Jerzy
Skolimowski in this tale of
adventure, intrigue and dance.

"White Nights" is the story
of a ballet star, Kolya Rod-
chenko (Baryshnikov), who has
defected to the West and finds
himself unexpectedly dropped
back into his Russian world
after his plane crash-lands in
Siberia. He is pressured by the
KGB and their Col. Chaiko
(Skolimowski) in their attempt
to use him as a symbol of the
repentant, returning defector.
In his effort to regain his
freedom, Kolya becomes in-
volved with an American ex-
patriate, Raymond Greenwood
(Hines), Greenwood's Russian
translator wife, Darya
(Rossellini), and his former
lover and ballet partner (Mir-
ren).

Music has always been an
important element in
Hackford's films; he is the on-
ly director to have two back-to-
back number-one songs from
his films. "White Nights" will,
hopefully, be no exception,
starting with the film's title
song, "Say You Say Me," writ-
ten, co-produced and sung by

Lionel Richie. Phil Collins
duets with Marilyn Martin on
"Separate Lives," the love
theme from "White Nights,"
written by Stephen Bishop.
Michael Colombier serves as
composer of the score. Other
artists appearing on the
soundtrack include Chaka
Khan, Roberta Flack, Robert
Plant, Nile Rodgers, Lou Reed,
John Hiatt, David Foster and
David Pack.
Columbia Pictures presents

a New Visions Production of a
Taylor Hackford Film, "White
Nights," starring Mikhail
Baryshnikov and Gregory
Hines. Produced by Taylor
Hackford and William S.
Gilmore and directed by Taylor
Hackford from a screenplay by
James Goldman and Eric
Hughes, based on a story by
James Goldman, the film also
stars Isabella Rossellini,
Geraldine Page, Helen Mirren
and Jerzy Skolimowski.

collection has been exhibited
in museums and libraries
throughout the Southeast.

The exhibit at the DeKalb
Historial Society will include
one of Bridges' more recent
acquisitions — Rhett Butler's
(Clark Gable) silk top hat.
Visitors can also see first edi-
tions autographed by the
author, Margaret Mitchell;

tles, candy boxes, and sheet
music; a number of Madame
Alexander "Scarlett O'Hara"
dolls from 1939 through today;
and original items from the
1939 Atlanta premiere, in-
cluding invitations, tickets,
and programs.

In addition, there will be a
quilt, on loan, made from
GWTW costume scraps,
preserved by one of Walter
Plunkett's assistants. Plunkett
was the costume designer for
the MGM film.

To celebrate the opening of
the exhibit, there will be a

If you have walked past
Presser Hall during the past
three weeks, you might well
have heard the sounds of
Mozart and Salieri flowing out
of Gaines Chapel and
wondered if indeed you had
traveled back in time. Fear not.
You were very much in the pre-
sent, or the presence, rather,
of the Agnes Scott Community
Orchestra under the direction
of Marc Burcham. The or-
chestra was practicing alone
and sometimes with the Atlan-
ta Repertory Opera for its per-
formance at Agnes Scott the
weekend of November 1.

rin returns to Atlanta for two
solo acappella concerts on
Saturday and Sunday,
November 16 and 17, at 8:00
p.m. in the Peachtree
Playhouse (1150 Peachtree
St.). Reserved seat tickets pric-
ed at $10 are now on sale at all
SEATS outlets; they may be
charged by calling 577-9600.

Voted jazz artist of the year
by Rolling Stone Magazine in
1984, Bobby McFerrin has
revolutionized the use of the
voice in jazz music. McFerrin
often sings without words, us-
ing his voice as an instrument
in witty, imaginative and
beautiful performances based
largely on improvisation.
Critics have marveled at his
ability to ping-pong his voice

Society. Atlanta's favorite
"society" pianist Margaret
Perrin will perform, and ladies
and gentlemen in antebellum
costume will act as hosts, led
by planning committee
member Scarlett Lanier. But-
terfly McQueen, who portrayed
Prissie in the film, has been in-
vited to attend. Cost for the
party is $15.00 per person.

"We are very proud to be
able to present Mr. Bridges'
collection to the Atlanta com-
munity," said Dorothy Nix, Ex-
ecutive Director of the DeKalb
Historical Society. "This is our
first special exhibit and we
could not think of a more fit-
ting subject than Gone With
the Wind."

The Bridges' collection will
be on exhibit in the former
courtroom of the Old Cour-
thouse, on the square in
Decatur. Admission is $3.00,
$2.00 for senior citizens. Hours
for the exhibit are: 9 a.m. to 4

Atlanta Repertory Opera Presents Classical Rivalry

by Heather Rogers

What do Agnes Scott Col-
lege and the Venetian Emperor
Joseph II have in common?
Both staged a competition
between the classical rivals of
the 18th century — Mozart and
Salieri. Two comic operas in
one act, First the Music Then
the Words by Salieri and The
Impresario by Mozart, were
commissioned for a court
festivity in 1786 and deal
similarly with a composer's ef-
forts to create the most
beautiful works to be sung by
the most qualified singers.
The most recent reenactment
of the "duel of the centuries"
was performed in Gaines
Chapel by the Atlanta Reper-
tory Opera and the Agnes
Scott Community Orchestra
the weekend of November 1.

In Salieri's opera, the
Maestro and the Poet struggle
to create an opera that has
both rhyme and reason. Two
prima donnas compete for the
lead role yet the Maestro

avoided the decision by
creating a duet. Mozart's im-
presario also finds himself
with an abundance of talent
demanding the lead roles in
his opera. The realization that
only one can be the leading
lady creates a loud and har-
monious competition between
the singers. However, they
eventually resign themselves
to the fact that no one can call
him or herself the "greatest."
Indeed, as Mozart's last aria
recites: "Every artist of
distinction, / Seeks to be the
only star. / But to call himself
the greatest, / Makes the
greatest artist small."

With the drop of the curtain
and the rise of the applause,
one impressed observer ex-
claimed, "It was delightful!
They are such gems of per-
formers. I'm an opera fan from
way back in Europe and I am
happy to see such high quality
that is local."

Ms. Marilyn Dietrichs who is

the founder and director of the
Atlanta Repertory Opera Com-
pany, commented, "The music
spoke for itself which com-
poser was the greatest —
Mozart." And she further em-
phasized that the operas were
presented so authentically
that the characters could have
just stepped off an 18th cen-
tury Austrian stage.

The next performance of the
Atlanta Repertory Opera will
be "The Best of Repertory" at
Callenwolde on April 4. The
Opera Company will return to
Agnes Scott April 18 and 19 to
perform two oratorios by
Carlyle Floyd and Rossini.

Salieri and Herr Mozarti
would be pleased to see their
operas performed with such
spirit and authenticity by the
members of the Atlanta Reper-
tory Opera, and Emperor
Joseph II would have chuckled
to think that 200 years later,
good entertainment hasn't left
the stage.

The Nutcracker is Back!

The Atlanta » Bal let

Sugar plum fairies and toy
soldiers will come to life once
again this Christmas season,
as The Atlanta Ballet presents
its 24th production of the holi-
day classic, The Nutcracker,
beginning Friday, December 6
at 8:00 p.m. at the Civic Center
Auditorium.

For 15 magical days and
nights in December, au-
diences will be transported in-
to the fantasy world of danc-
ing candy canes, dueling toy
soldiers, giant mice, sugar
plum fairies and beautiful
swirling snowflakes. The Nut-
cracker has been an anxiously
awaited holiday treat since it
was first performed by The
Atlanta Ballet in 1962. It was
then that The Atlanta Ballet
received permission from the
late artistic director and
choreographer George Balan-
chine to use his acclaimed
Nutcracker choreography. On-
ly a select number of com-
panies today have the rights to
Mr. Balanchine's version of
The Nutcracker which was
first presented in New York in
1954.

Growing up in Russia, Mr.
Balanchine experienced
Petipa's original Nutcracker.
His own version, for the New
York City Ballet, was based on
what he saw in Russia and in-
cluded Atlanta Ballet artistic
director Robert Barnett in the
orginal role of Candy Cane.
Barnett was a soloist with the
New York City Ballet for eight
years. It was through the close
association with Mr. Balan-
chine that Barnett and The
Atlanta Ballet were granted
permission to perform Mr.
Balanchine's choreography.

The Atlanta Ballet's Nut-
cracker is performed by a cast
of 90, 40 adults, and 50
children who are chosen
through auditions from the
Atlanta School of Ballet, The
Atlanta Ballet's official
school. Elaborate set designs,
including a gigantic Christmas
tree which grows to enormous
heights, will adorn the Civic
Center stage. (The Christmas
tree is made possible by a
special major gift from

Robert Shaw To Conduct
"St. John Passion"

Robert Shaw will conduct J.
S. Bach's "St. John Passion"
on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. in
Emory University's Glenn
Memorial Auditorium as part
of Emory's celebration of the
Bach centenary. Shaw is a
Robert W. Woodruff professor
of Music and the Humanities
at Emory University.

Shaw has been music direc-
tor and conductor of the Atlan-
ta symphony Orchestra since
1966. With the Atlanta Sym-
phony, Shaw has toured in
Boston, Mexico City and New
York City among others.

A native of California, Shaw
served as the music director of
the San Diego Symphony from
1953 to 1957 and joined the
Cleveland Orchestra in 1956.
He has received numerous
awards for his work including
five Grammy Awards, honorary
degrees and awards from 30 U.
S. universities and the first
Guggenheim fellowship ever
given to a conductor.

Shaw has also received the
Alice M. Ditson award for ser-
vice to American music from

Columbia University and is
one of the few classical con-
ductors to have an album sell
over one million copies.

The concert will feature the
Candler Choraliers, the Glenn
Memorial United Methodist
Church Chancel Choir (Carlton
Young, director), the Georgia
State University Concert Choir
(John Haberlen, director) and

perform in Cannon Chapel on
the Emory University campus
on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 8:15
p.m. The concert will feature
renowned drummer Ronald
Shannon Jackson.

Since the beginning of the
1980s, Craig Harris has been
one of the most sought after
trombonists in New York City.

Blackfriars Produce The Good Person Of Szechwan

by Elizabeth Mullis

The Blackfriar's fall produc-
tion The Good Person of
Szechwan was perhaps one of
the most conceptually in-
teresting plays Agnes Scott
has seen on its stage in
several years.

The parable play by German
Bertolot Brecht tells the story
of a well-meaning reformed
prostitute Shen Teh (played by
senior Rebekah Martin) whose
desire is to be a good person.
She runs into difficulties in her
quest to be good, and, as a
result, she creates an alter
ego, Shui Ta, that has little
regard for Shen Teh's
idealistic goodness yet
without whom Shen Tey would
not survive.

Shui Ta represents the sur-
vival instinct of the prostitute
Shen Tey has cast aside. The
play is a marvelous illustration
of the diechotomy between
idealistic good-hearted ness
and practical ruthlessness. It
raises the question of whether
goodness can truly exist in
modern society.

Martin in the lead role per-
formed a very difficult part
with seeming assurance and
control. (She can be
remembered from her ex-
cellent protrayal of the grand-

Rebekah Martin in The Good Person of Szechwan.

mother of Mary in last spring's
All the Way Home. )This role
was quite a stretch for Martin
as she literally changed from
Shen Teh to Shui Ta before the
audienc'e eyes, and she handl-
ed herself of stage admirably.

The most entertaining per-
formance were by the three
gods who come to Szechwan
to find a wholly good person.
Quite often functioning as the

comic relief in an otherwise
heavy moralistic drama, the
gods served to break up ten-
sion and provide a shift in
pace.

Junior Jeanine Dwinnell,
junior Rachel Hubbard and
ASC regular Harold Hall
played the parts of the three
pious ones. They worked well
as a unit, asserting their own
characters while still con-
tributing to the ensemble.

Blackfriars Backstage: Dressing The Cast

by Meg Bryant and Jeanine
Dwinell

The Blackfriars' production
of The Good Person of
Szechwan opened Thrusday,
October 31. The show the au-
dience saw last night was the
culmination of weeks of hard
work, long hours, and creative
silliness that the audience un-
fortunately misses.

As co-chairs of the costume
committee, we had the rare joy
of providing costumes for thir-
ty cast members, ranging in
size from 4' 10" high to 52 in-
ches wide. It's hard to find a
suit for a fat man — tactfully.
You just can't go up to a
stranger and say, "Excuse me,
you're fat. Can I borrow your
clothes?" It doesn't work and
can be dangerous.

The majority of the
costumes in Szechwan are for
"the scum of the
neighborhood." We invested

our hard-earned money on
yards and yards of lovely, fine-
ly woven curtain material and
mercilessly chopped it to bits,
a technique we fondly term
"broadsword cutting." The
merchant who sold it to us
was appalled at our inten-
tions, but not nearly as appall-
ed as the salesclerk at Cloth
World when we bought satin
to line the gods' robes. The
fabric is a beautiful cham-
pagne taupe suitable for
bridesmaids' dresses and we
covered it with dollar-a-yard,
orange/gold burlappy stuff.

After we sewed a few scum
suits, we decided to wash
them to see if our handiwork
could survive. They ravelled
beautifully, lending an ap-
propriate frayed look to the
costumes. Unfortunately, the
seams ravelled away, too, and
it took longer to put them back

together than it had to make
them in the first place.

An inherent problem in
costuming this show was that
everything had to be BROWN.
In civilized countries this is
known as a DESIGN CON-
CEPT. We lived in constant
fear that an inappropriate col-
or would creep unnoticed onto
one of our costumes, distract
the audience's attention, and
steal the show. The play simp-
ly could not center on the
bright red feather in Shui Ta's
hat. Luckily, we captured it
before it made an entrance.

Inspite of these odditites,
everyone is wearing
something in the play you'll
see. We hope that these little
insights will enhance and
enrich your theatre ex-
perience. And please, one final
note: NO LAUGHING AT
HOODS AND ELEPHANTS!

The Carl Ratcliff Dance
Theatre opens the 1985-86
season November 14-17 with a
program celebrating the joy
and jubilence of modern
dance. Co-Founders Carl
Ratcliff and Virginia Barnett
are extremely excited about
this evenings works and about
the new additions to the com-
pany. "Dancers are getting
better every year in style and
technique," says Director and
Choreographer Carl Ratcliff.
New company members this
year are Terri Axam-Austin
from Macon and Karen Traxler

from Chicago. Returning
Dance Theatre members are
Virginia Barnett, Craig Fehr,
Michael Garrison, Cory Jones,
Carl Ratcliff, and Mary Rear-
don. Assistant Director,
Virginia Barnett states, "This
year the company is strong,
energetic and exciting, a true
joy to watch."

The performance runs
November 14-17 and includes
the world premiere of Go For
Baroque, an inspiring look at
an age gone by. Also on the
program are two favorites
from last season. Travel the

back streets of Paris with
Ratcliff 's In The Shadow Of . . .

set to the music of Jacques
Brel and be awed by the
opulence of the Rajahs in the
invigorating A Touch Of India.

Performances are
November 14-16 at 8 pm and
Sunday, November 17 at 3 pm.
All performances are at the
Academy Theatre, 1137
Peachtree Street. Tickets are
$10.00 each with discounts
available for students, senior
citizens, and groups. For more
information and reservations,
please call 266-0100.

Newcomer to Agnes Scott's
theatre program is Lainey
Kahlstrom who appeared as
Wang, the water person, a sort
of narrator to the play.
Kahlstrom's presentation of
the good-meaning Wang was
very competent. Her presence
provided a continuity, and her
understanding of Wang's sar-
castic wit aided her in creating
perhaps the most fully crafted
character of the production.
Wang always appeared as a
real person, whereas some of
the characters appeared flat.

Most praise should be given
to director Becky Prophet for
assembling such a large cast
into a workable group. Her
ideas are innovative and fresh.
She has managed to com-
municate her own sense of
Brecht to the audience. Open
scene changes with actors
functioning dually as stage
hands worked very well.

In a production that could
have been disjointed and bad-
ly misinterpreted Prophet has
crafted quite a good piece of
work.

But here were some pro-
blems. There were several
small problems with pacing
and blocking and lines

cues— all attributable to open-
ing night jitters. Aside from
those minor problems, there
were some more serious
thematic problems. Some of
the poor townspeople looked
unavoidably just a little too
healthy, yet to overcome their
unadjustable good health they
sometimes overdid it on the
sick and famished and bedrag-
gled routine.

Though projection was
generally good by all actors,
some speeches became a bit
garbled. The otherwise very
competent Scott Sowers (from
the 1984 Blackfriar's produc-
tion of Where Have All the
Fireflies Gone) playing the
boyfriend of Shen Tey, Yung
Sun, tended to drop in volume
on occasion. Though by the
end of the play he seemed con-
fident in his character, at the
beginning he appeared unsure
of what approach to take with
Yung Sun.

The Good Person of
Szechwan was very different
play for Agnes Scott theatre
goers. It's refreshing to see
evidence of a foreward-minded
Theatre Department and a dar-
ingness to stray from the
norm.

The Dance Barre

by Elizabeth Smith

On October 24, the members
of Studio Dance Theatre were
treated to a master class given
by the internationally acclaim-
ed Ririe Woodbury. The style
of dance taught was a form of
modern dance which everyone
really enjoyed.

Audiences were entertained
by S.D.T. at Great Scott in the
amphitheatre with works such
as the award winning
"Discovery" choreographed by
Andrea Morris, "Warm Ice" by
Eun Joo Yang, "Body & Soul"
by Meda Stamper and an up-
dated version of the award
winning "Southern Comfort"
by Mrs. Darling. Great Scott
was the last performance of
fall quarter.

Rehearsals are underway
for next quarter's annual kids'

show. Andrea Morris has
organized the entire show,
which centers around a circus
theme and features dances
with clowns, trapeze artist,
ponies, and tight rope walkers.
The kids' show will be perform-
ed at 11:30 in Gaines
auditorium on January 31 and
should prove to be very enter-
taining for children as well as
adults.

Fitness Update: Why Study When You Can EXERCISE!

by Mary Carter Whitten

Exams are coming. Your
room is too small, your desk is
too uncomfortable, your carrel
in the library is too quiet. You
are tense . . . full of stress
about impending hours of
testing. What can you do to
relieve your frustrations, to
relax?

EXERCISE! That's right —
get your blood boiling, your
toes tapping, your muscles
moving! Specialists agree that
exercise is a great compliment
to study: not only are you
relieving physical tension but
you are relaxing your mind as
well. And what's more — you
are burning off calories and

toning your muscles.

Exercise can take many
forms and can be done in
many places. Aerobics, danc-
ing, weight lifting, and organiz-
ed sports are all appropriate
and the gym, Hub, basements
of dorms, and even your room
can suffice for exercise areas.
The gym is open for student
use every day and evening.
The weight room, off of the
locker room, is also open every
day. Dormitory basements are
primarily available at night
and Inman, in particular, is
equipped with a specially
designed exercise room.

The following types of exer-
cise are suggested in accor-

dance with suggested timing
to help you make the best use
of your study breaks. The list
is by no means complete and
if these suggestions do not fit
your style, you can try some of
your own ideas.

For short study breaks (five
minutes to one-half hour) do a
few sit-ups, leg lifts, arm and
head circles. These activities
loosen joints that have
become stiff from sitting still
for too long. If you are
frustrated, head toward the
gym and shoot a few baskets,
bump a volleyball against the
wall, or practice your tennis
serve.

For longer study breaks

(one-half hour or longer) plug
in the jam box and keep
aerobic time to Jane Fonda.
Grab a friend and lift some
weights in the weight room or
jog around the campus. Play a
game of volleyball, soccer,
basketball or tennis with a few
other students.

Above all, remember these
simple guidelines when exer-
cising so that you will not en-
danger your health and will
have fun. Always limber up
before exercising. Many
students have pulled
ligaments, tendons, muscles,
and have even broken bones
because they failed to warm
up first.

Wear appropriate clothing
and shoes. Do no risk catching
a cold or the flu by not wearing
warm clothing after working
up a sweat. Tennis, running, or
aerobics shoes should be
worn for the appropriate ac-
tivities.

Finally, exercise with a
friend or friends. Exercise is
always more fun when there's
more than one. You'll also feel
safer when travelling to and
from the gym if friends accom-
pany you.

So go ahead. Take a break
and exercise. You will feel bet-
ter and you will be able to
study more easily!

THE AS KICKERS PLAY TWO GREAT GAMES TO END SEASON

by Gretchen A. Pfeifer

Despite the 6-1 loss to
Georgia State, the AS Kickers
showed their best side at
Saturday morning's match.

Our offense was strong, and
our defense even better during
the second half, when we
changed our formation from
4-3-3 to 4-2-4. However, this
change wasn't the only great
advantage to the game. We
really improved as a team
through constant communica-
tion and fantastic passes. Our

terrific goal was made by
Aimee Peeples and was
assisted by Lisa Ol I iff. Goalie
Sharon Hargraves did an ex-
ceptional job by saving some
pretty hard shots made by
Georgia State.

We looked great out there,
even though both teams suf-
fered a number of injuries. And
despite the final score, we
definitely showed progress. I
guess we just extinguished
that old adage of having to

look aood to win! According to
Coach Scott, who is proud of
the team, "we didn't know they
were out of our league until we
played GSU." Coach Scott
also remarked that, "if more
people showed up for practice
and really put their hearts into
the team, the AS Kickers could
become a part of a league."
The AS Kickers showed
wonderful progress, and we
should be proud of our
feets— and defeats. Keep up
the good work, team! ! !

Students Race for Arts

by Pilar Duque

Despite the fact that only
four students and one staff
person participated, the first
Decatur Race for the Arts was
a success! The day was
perfect, the course was
challenging, and the general
turnout was good.

According to Penny
Wistrand, one of the
organizers, about 125 people
were inscribed for the race.
The Agnes Scott represen-
tatives were Amy Bailey (who
received a trophy for winning
the 17-20 category), Hong
Tran, Susan Tanner, Shirlee
Brooks, and Terry Maddox
(Business Manager).

The four students who par-

ticipated are members of the
newly formed Cross Country
team. When asked how she
felt about the race, Amy said,
'It was a perfect day to run.
The course was sort of hilly
and none of us were in real top
shape, but it was fun."

I'm sure you are wondering
why Penny (who is such an en-
thusiast about road races, and
one of the organizers for this
one) wasn't running. Well, she
confessed to me: she was suf-
fering from shinsplints!

It was a fun race. All of the
participants received a T-Shirt;
there was good music to cheer
everyone up (thanks to Penny
of course!); and amazingly
enough the weather
cooperated.

Congratulations
to the Tennis &
Volleyball teams
on their winning
seasons!

Team Records:

Tennis: 5-2
Volleyball: 3-1

by Pilar Duque

Well, the AS Kickers played
their last game of the season,
and I'm sure everyone who
saw us will have to agree with
me in that this was definitely
one of the best games we
played all quarter. So what if
we lost? The score was only
1-0. And even if it had been 6-0,
I would still be writing this
same article. The team just
played absolutely GREAT!!!!

We had already played this
team (Blue United) once
before. The very first game
of this season was played
against them, and ironically
also the last. This team is not
a fast team, but instead one
that uses finesse. Their
passes are always exact. They
seem to know where every
single one of their players is
every second of the game. We
played different; We were ag-
gressive; We used our speed
and our strength.

The AS Kickers are a team,
and we played as such. We
passed, we talked, and we en-
couraged one another. We did
not let the fact that we were
not winning bring our morale
down. Our forwards were con-
stantly creating dangerous
moments on their goal, and
our defense did a superb job
eliminating any possibilities
of scoring they had.

At' this point I would like to
thank a number of people who
made it possible for the AS
Kickers to play all season.
First of all I want to thank our
coach Ginny Scott for
volunteering her time and
wisdom. I want to thank Ms.
Manuel for helping us in all the
ways she did. I also want to
thank those of you who sup-
ported us during one or all of
our games. And lastly I want to
thank every single one of the
players for sticking to the AS
Kickers through the good and
the not so good!

ASC Campus Celebrates Dr. King's Birthday

by Becky Moses

As part of the birthday
celebration for Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. the Students
for Black Awareness spon-
sored a convocation with
noted guest speaker Dr. Nancy
A. Boxill. Dr. Boxill was avidly
involved with the civil rights
movement of the 1960's and
has since then established
herself as a leader in the field
of social, psychological and
community service. Most
recently she has chaired the
Atlanta University School of
Social Work's Department of
Child and Family Services,
and has co — chaired the
Georgia Department of Human
Resources Steering Commit-
tee on "Raising a Healthy
Generation of Georgians." She
is also a member of the
Georgia Department of Human
Resources Poverty Task
Force, the Georgia Citizens
Committee on Child Care and
is on the Board of Directors for
the Council for Children and
the Atlanta Women's Network.

For the benefit of the ASC
students, most of whom are
not old enough to have been
directly involved with the
struggles of Dr. King and his
followers, Dr. Boxill began her
lecture by summarizing the
social changes wrought in
that era. She was quick to add,

THE DREAfc
KEAEflBEPEO.

though, that while the gains in
health care, voting, housing,
and federal assistance were
dramatic and significant, they
created what she called the
"illusion of inclusion." This il-
lusion, in combination with
several other factors, in-
cluding a change in national
and local leadership, fewer co-
hesive and more categorical

plans, and the advent of the
"Women's Lib" movement,
caused the civil rights move-
ment to wane in the years
following Dr. King's assasina-
tion. Dr. Boxill cited two addi-
tional factors as chief causes
for the movement's decline:
First, a kind of weariness in
well-doing; "Folks just got
tired. I mean you can only go

to jail so many times", and se-
cond, a failure on the part of
Dr. King's followers to make
his vision their own.

The second half of Dr. Box-
ill's lecture she entitled, "So
where do we go from here?"
She gave students six instruc-
tions aimed at exploding the
"illusion of inclusion," and
gaining for blacks the fullness

of equality in the United
States.

1) Be alert. Access the condi-
tion and status of blacks. Iden-
tify your priorities according
to your goals.

2) Be informed. Information is
a powerful tool.

3) Become energized. Holiday
celebrations like the ones for
Dr. King help energize and re-
commit people.

4) Turn outward. Resist being
satisfied and comfortable with
your own personal
achievements. "I want to
challenge you to see others as
yourself - others less for-
tunate. Notice their look, their
opportunity, their soul."

5) Select one target such as
literacy, apartheid, com-
parable worth, poverty or
health. Use the "Each one,
teach one" approach.

6) Take periodic measure of
your progress toward that
goal.

"Not everyone can be a Mar-
tin Luther King, Jr., but we can-
each of us - own a piece of that
dream ... So that next year on
Martin Luther King Day, you
can celebrate not only Martin
Luther King, you can celebrate
YOU."

Dr. Boxill's lecture was
followed by a luncheon with
several of the faculty and the
Students for Black
Awareness.

Winn States Presbyterian Stand

On Central America

by Heather Rogers
and Angela Howard

At Agnes Scott's January 8
convocation, Dr. Al Winn,
Pastor of the North Decatur
Presbyterian Church, spoke
about the reasons why the
Presbyterian Church is
diametrically opposed to cur-
rent U.S. policy in Central
America and what the
Presbyterian Church feels are
acceptable alternatives to this
policy.

The Presbyterian church
has formed a Peace
Fellowship of which Dr. Winn
is the National co-chairman

and the Vice-President of the
Atlanta fellowship. The Peace
Fellowship and other Chris-
tian religions are united in
their opposition to Central
American policy.

Today over 200 Presbyterian
churches participate in giving
illegal sanctuary to Central
American refugees. The U.S.
government does not give Cen-
tral Americans refugee status
because under the Refugee
Act of 1980, refugees can only
enter the country it their lives
are endangered.

The U.S. government

classifies the Central
Americans as economic rather
than endangered refugees, the
U.S. government has placed in-
formers in various churches.
Some members of the
Presbyterian Church in
Arizona have been prosecuted
for being involved with the
sanctuary movement.

The Presbyterian church
has also sponsored a group of
people to participate in the
"Witness for Peace." These
people, in a nonviolent protest
for peace, stood along the
Honduran-Nicaraguan border

Georgia's Secretary of State, Max Cleland, to visit ASC.

Cleland To Begin

BSA Series

by Beth Webb

The Honorable Max Cleland,
Secretary of State of the state
of Georgia, will join Agnes
Scott students for an informal
evening of dinner and conver-
sation on Tuesday, February
25th at 6 o'clock. This evening
will inaugurate the new
Students' Speaker Series,

which is designed to bring
outstanding Georgians of the
students' choosing to campus
as a balance to our schedule
of academic and cultural
events. Secretary Cleland is
one of many distinguished
Georgians who have been sug-
gested as persons whom
students would like to invite

for a campus visit.

After losing both of his legs
above the knee and an arm
above the elbow in the Viet-
nam War, Secretary Cleland
went on to distinguish himself
in the field of public service.
He served as a state Senator,
as the head of the Veterans'
Administration during the
Carter administration, and is
currently in his second term as
Secretary of State. He was
considered to be one of the
most formidable potential op-
ponents for the upcoming
Senate race against Mattingly
before he announced his deci-
sion not to run. His book,
Strong in the Broken Places,

tells the story of his early life
and career, and will be
available in the bookstore for
interested students.

The dinner will be in the
West Terrace Dining Room,
and all Agnes Scott students,
faculty, and staff are invited,
though students will definitely
be assigned highest priority.
Seating is obviously limited,
so reservations will be ac-
cepted on a first-come first-
served basis. Students are in-
vited to attend at no cost, but
faculty and staff are requested
to contribute to cover the cost
of their dinner. Reservations
should be sent to Box 536 by

February 13th at 5 p.m.

The sponsors of this event
are the Board of Student Ac-
tivities and the College Events
Committee. Students who
have ideas of persons they
would like to see invited to
campus are asked to send
their ideas to Box 536 so that
B.S.A. can investigate these
possibilities.

Secretary Cleland is widely
known as a witty and intrigu-
ing raconteur, and is sought
after nation-wide as a speaker.
It is both an honor and a ter-
rific opportunity to have him
on campus!!!

Care For An After Dinner Spawl?

Guest Editorialist

You may have noticed lately
a particular dance that is the
rage of Agnes Scott students,
staff, and guests alike. It is
called the Dining Hall Slip.
Though its steps are uncouth
and its accompanying
clamour of shattering dishes
deafening, this dance turns
heads and even breaks a few.
The effect is singularly
smashing.

Perhaps you remember one
evening last quarter, when you
were kept from enjoying that
time which we bleary— eyed

and brain— taxed students
most look forward to each day,
an unmolested dinner with our
friends. That evening we had
to fill out an intricate and
enigmatic questionnaire on
how to spend so much money
on basketball courts or locker
rooms or whatnot. Please
don't misunderstand me. Of
course physical education
facilities are important.

But, if you will, imagine this
scene. A stranger sees a group
of Scotties walking down the
street and says to another
stranger beside him, "See

those girls? They're Agnes
Scott women. You can tell."

"How?" says the other
stranger. "By their slim,
energetic, and graceful pro-
files?"

"Nope," says the first
stranger, "by the neck braces
and chipped teeth."

School is for opening minds,
not heads. Make a difference.
Let your voice be heard.
Please suggest to our
superiors that the dining hall
floor needs less slippery tiles.
Otherwise, it might be the
place of a Scottie's last Sup-
per.

From Public Safety . . .

Since renovation of Main
and Rebekah began in fall
quarter, there have been sever
parking constraints on this
campus. The situation,
however, does not justify park-
ing in fire lanes or in front of
fire hydrants. These areas
must-and-will be kept clear for
emergency access to the Fire
and Police Departments. To
ensure that this new policy is
followed, several new steps
have been initiated by the
Public Safety department:

1. Anyone parked in these
areas will be issued a City of
Decatur Police Citation requir-
ing a fine reimbursement of
$15.00 - or an appearance in
Recorder's Court on the last
Thursday of the given month.

2. Students parked in these
areas will additionally be

sought out regardless of time
of day or night to remove their
vehicles to perimeter parking
which remains available at the
Candler, Tennis Court,
Physical Plant, or McCain
parking lots.

Change in library hours . . .

To the Campus Community:

Catalyst Committee would
like to announce a change in
library hours. The library will
now open at 1:00 p.m. on Sun-
days. The library staff explain-
ed that any hesitation on its
part in initially examining the
request for an earlier opening
time resulted from a general
policy of offering later closing
times in response to the needs
of the students. It was this
policy rather than ill-founded
rumors that the librarians
wanted a long lunch after
church that delayed the deci-

sion to open the library earlier.

However, this change brings
with it additional responsibili-
ty for students. A library staff
member will be on duty from
one to ten p.m. Sundays. From
ten to ten-thirty p.m. the cir-
culations desk will be staffed
only by a student aide. It is
iperative that these student
workers realize the respon-
sibilities with which they are
invested. Not only must they
be punctual and dependable,
but Catalyst requests that ALL
students assist in making this
change successful by check-
ing out reserved material
before the circulation desk
begins to close and by leaving
the library promptly at the
closing hour.

Catalyst Committee would
like to thank the library staff
for its cooperation in this mat-
ter.

TO THE POINT

by Becky Moses

Beginning this quarter, the Profile is adopting a new
system of operation that will hopefully give us more control
over the final appearance and quality of the newspaper. By
the end of January, all Profile articles will be written on IBM
computers, transferred to one central disk, edited, and sent
by modem directly into the typesetting
computer. Since the copy will not,
then, have to be typed and re-typed, the
number of typographical errors should
be drastically reduced.

Depending chiefly on cost and upon
how the printing schedule will be af-
fected, we are also considering the use
of an intown typesetter (as opposed to
the one which we currently use), and
the use of an intown paste-up artist to
prepare the camera ready lay-outs for one final review before
printing. As it stands now, we have no opportunity to view the
lay-outs any time between the original paste-up and
printing, and so we never know exactly how the Profile is go-
ing to look!

In addition, the Agnes Scott Publications department has
offered to conduct workshops for the Profile staff on such
topics as lay-out and photo selection. Since the student
publications have no advisors, the experience we have had
has been our only resource. It is hoped that working with
those in Publications will help raise the quality of the Profile
from what is now the best that we can do to what we know is
the best we can be.

Please bear with us in the change over of systems. There
are bound to be many "bugs" to work out and perhaps some
changes in the publication schedule due to additional steps
in the printing process. We hope to be fully re-arranged by the
end of this quarter. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Lisa Gugino, Exploring The City Of Her Dreams

Lisa Gugino — Back at ASC. Photo by Laura Smith

by Elizabeth Mullis

On the wall of her dorm
room is a magazine ad of a
Yuppie— looking man stan-
ding in front of the nation's
capitol. His face has been
deftly cut away, and in its
place she has cleverly put in
her own picture.

The caption reads:
"America's greatest suc-
cesses are achieved by those
who seek opportunities not
guarantees."

Last quarter junior Lisa
Gugino successfully sought
opportunitites in Washington,
DC as the participated in the
Washington Semester Pro-
gram at American University.

The Washington Semester
Program draws together col-
lege students fro the entire
United States and several
foreign countries to come
study and work in the DC area.
Lisa was among the 428 select
students who came to study in
one of four areas: economic
policy, foreign policy,
jouralism and American
government.

The program is three— fold.
Two days a week the students
spend in the classroom in
seminar on their chosen area.
Another two days a week is
spent interning in the agency
or firm of their choosing.
Fridays were reserved for work
on a research project.

Perhaps a true academian
at heart, the seminars were
the most stimulating for Lisa.

"We had intensive debates
with people who really cared
about the subjects we were
studying," she says.

Lisa's seminar focused on
American government. She
shared a class with 24 other
students from colleges and
universities such as Nor-
thwestern, Emory, Wheaton
and Notre Dame.

"The people were wonder-
ful," Lisa reflects, "we were all
there because we wanted to
be there . . . With the amount
of ambition of the students
there I'm certain they'll be the
next congressmen and
Presidents of the United
States."

For her internship Lisa
worked for Liz Robbins
Associates, a private lobbying
firm on Capitol Hill. It handles
the interests of such cities as
Denver, New York, San Fran-
cisco and Berkley and also
some major investment
bankers.

While interning with Liz
Robbins Associates Lisa
helped research and monitor
the legislative developments
on several different issues,
among the forefront of na-
tional attention was the AIDS
appropriations bill.

Of her internship Lisa says,
"I found out what I didn't like
more than anything ... I could
not be a 'pound the marble lob-
byist' like Liz. Everything is so
spontaneous— compulsive,
obsessive."

But she admits, "It was a
good experience ... I found
out someone like me can do
that kind of job."

A valuable aspect of the in-
ternship was the interviewing
required to be placed. "I had to
be able to talk about anything
under the sun, be scrutinized,"
Lisa relates.

Obviously, she came across
well. Every firm she interview-
ed with wanted her.

Lisa had some humorous
moments. One day while runn-
ing an errand for her intern-
ship at the House of Represen-
tatives Document Room Lisa
emerged from the office
papers in hand at a hurried,
somewhat haphazard manner.
Cutting a corner quickly she
bumps into a rather large per-
son. Her papers fly in several
different directions.

"I looked up," she
remembers, "and, yes, staring
me in the face was red— nosed
Tip O'Neil."

Lisa had a chance to
socialize with congressmen
and their aids at occasional
receptions. "You could always
tell the interns from anyone
else," she laughs, "because
we were the ones huddled
around the food tables."

The social life of the
Georgetown area was an
aspect of the program that
was not formally included in
the curiculum, but its function
was essential nonetheless.
"Happy hours after a long

day's work were great!" Lisa
says, "Georgetown was ex-
citing, fun. We did alot of dan-
cing."

Lisa has returned now to
Agnes Scott to continue her
major in political science, but
often she thinks of her ex-

by Lisa Gugino

If an Agnes Scott student
were to visit the athletic
facilities available to her to-
day, she would cringe at the in-
adequacies, dancers stubbing
their toes on a warped floor,
basketball players trying to
get a feel for the game on a
non-regulation court, swim-
mers trying to avoid one
another in a cramped pool.

However, the future appears
brighter. Both the athletic and
non-athletic Scottie will have
something to look forward to
as the Board of Trustees has
recently voted on the propos-
ed plan for the development of
a Campus Center and a
seperate Physical Activity
Center.

Having already determined
the progammatic desires, the
Trustees had to make a final
decision as to the location of
the Activity Center. Their final
decision was to place the
structure in the most
economical spot-south of
Dougherty Street, behind the
magnolias and below the
Bradley observatory.

The sight was choosen over
the closer, and relatively more
popular plans to place the
facility where the tennis
courts and parking lot present-
ly lie. The reasons cited by ad-
ministration for the Trustee's
decision against the favored
plan were, "poor soil condi-
tions, complications with ex-
isting utilities lying under the
parking lot, and the high cost
of replacing the ex isting

perience in Washington.

"It's good to be back," she
asserts, "and Agnes Scott is
challenging. But I miss the
touch of reality the program
had. The reality was scary, tir-
ing, and sometimes I didn't
like it, but I grew so much."

facilities elsewhere."

Once a comprehensive plan,
the Campus Center will now
be located in the existing gym
and infirmary. Featured in this
building will be racket ball
courts, an upgraded dance
studio, a chapel, club offices,
weight room, and snack bar.
Although the orginal plans
have changed the Dougherty
facility, once built, will boast
the finest regulation basket-
ball court and six lane swim-
ming and diving pool.

Although the Dougherty
facility will not be as close to
the rest of the school as
orginally hoped, Mr. Wit-
tington assuringly commented
that, "once built the athletic
facility will nicely round out he
entire physical education
building scheme which in-
cludes the nearby track
(presently under con-
struction)."

While the difficult economic
questions seem to have been
answered, the question arises
as to the amount of use the
athletic facility will receive in
the proposed location.

Will twenty or so feet really
make a difference? Will the
distant facility be regarded as
a type of field house for future
intercollegiate sports or as a
facility everyone can use? For
the most part it is up to the
students of Agnes Scott to
answer these questions and
determine whether the
Trustees decision was actual-
ly the most economical.

SBA Members Inspired By-
Martin Luther King's Dream

by Louisa Parker

With Martin Luther King
Jr.'s birthday being celebrated
nationally this past month,
"The Dream" has been on a lot
of peoples minds and lips. The
Students for Black Awareness
at Agnes Scott are no excep-
tion. This inspired, dilligent

group has many goals and
dreams of its own.

Anita Jones, vice-president
of SBA explains, "Our goal is
to let the whole student body
know more about the black ex-
perience."

"Our focus, our little part of
The Dream', is facing the pro-

Martin Luther King Jr

blem of the poverty of women
and children," elaborates
Shaun Dock, president of SBA.
Phyllis Wheatley at the YWCA
provides a weekly food-service
for poverty-stricken women
and children. SBA plans to
help serve these people. SBA
also has been working and has
plans to continue working to
get the Agnes Scott communi-
ty more aware of the problem
of Aparthide in South Africa.

Shaun Dock says that SBA
is very happy and excited
about Martin Luther King's bir-
thday because he is the first
black man to be so widely
honored. Neverthless, Shaun
contends that SBA would have
fought against Aparthide and
poverty withouth the focus
that MLK brings to the black
community. "Poverty is a pro-
blem that only the people can
change," exclaims Shaun.

Shaun encourages all ASC
students to come to SBA's
convocations an activities and
to try to solve the problem
together. Anita Jones agrees,
"We (SBA) are so limited; there
are so few of us. We need to
have the entire student body
behind us."

Shaun concludes, "Pro-
blems (such as poverty) are
not just problems for black
people or for and minority
group, they are problems for
everyone."

The Once In A Lifetime Comet

by Beverly Garcia

Some things are just too
good to pass up! Halleys Com-
et is one of these things. It on-
ly appears every 76 years, and
millions of people around the
country have made a bee line
for the nearest telescope in
order to see this phenomenal
event.

Agnes Scott's own Bradley
Observatory has been holding
open houses in order to view
Halleys Comet. They held
open houses every night
Thursday, January 9 through
the 17.

Even though the 10, 16 and
17 were cloudy and the comet
could not be seen, the turnout
during that week was tremen-
dous. According to Pilar Du-
que, "people started lining up

to prevent contras from enter-
ing Nicaragua.

In addition to explaining the
church's position, Dr. Winn
also handed out copies of the
Presbyterian General
Assembly's 1985 Resolutions
on U.S. policy in Central
America. The Resolutions de-
mand a withdrawl of all
military and economic aid

at six o'clock, and the line
would extend past the tennis
courts."

The observatory averaged
300 people every night, and the
only viewing time was bet-
ween 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.

There were a 30-inch and
several eight-inch telescopes
available. All that was seen
was a fuzzy light in the
distance.

The best time for Halleys
Comet to be seen will be
March and April in the early
morning sky between one to
one and a half hours before
sunrise in the southeast part
of the sky. Unfortuntely, the
view from the observatory is
less than ideal as trees are
presently blocking the viewing
path.

Thanks to the observatory
assistants and especially
David Bowden for his great
help, all the open houses were
successful.

The observatory has open
houses for the general public
every Friday at 8:00 p.m. with
presentation and planetarium
show and viewing through
telescope if the sky is clear.

This spring Stone Mountain
Park will be a good place to
view Halleys Comet, just take
your binoculars around mid-
night or in the country with a
low horizon.

If you still haven't seen
Halleys Comet don't miss this

the freedom to determine their

The Presbyterian Church
also firmly believes the U.S.
should grant "extended volun-
tary departure" to Central
American refugees who flee to

the U.S. for safety.

Although the appeals of the
Presbyterian General
Assembly have been ineffec-

Sophomores Prepare For
Weekend With Parents

by Beverly Garcia

The Sophomore class has
been preparing for quite some
time for this year's Sophomore
Parents Weekend on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday January
31 through February 2.

Many fun activities and
original entertainment are
planned in order to give
parents a taste of fun and
good times at ASC. Parents
will also have time to talk to
professors about classes, and
academics, will of course, be
discussed.

Registration for parents is
Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning.

Also planned for the
weekend are a Saturday lun-
cheon, an evening slide show

of the Sophomore class and a
talent show production. The
weekend culminates Sunday
with a breakfast.

Many thanks to Mollie Mer-
rick, Felicia Perritt and faculty
advisors along with all the
Sophomores serving on the
committees. They are: Kathryn
Smith, Katie Hager, Jeannie
Norton, Meg Bryant, Christy
Noland, Adele Clements,
Renee Caudill, Julie
Kleinhans, Beverly Garcia and
Sophomore class officers
Tracy McMahon, Ross Hall,
Krista Lankford and Nancy

Student Speaker Bureau
. . . A Great New Idea

exceptionally bright, witty,
and "going places" women.

Students may request to be
nominated by their faculty ad-
visor. Nominees will be
screened and asked to present
a short speech before a selec-
tion committee. Those
selected will then proceed to
develop their speeches, work-
ing in conjunction with the
Theatre department and the
Admissions staff.

The goal is to have the
speeches prepared before Spr-
ing Break, so that each
speaker may begin accepting
engagements for Spring
Quarter.

Freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors may re-
quest nomination, and are en-
couraged to do so.

This will be a fun and rewar-
ding experience that will not
require a huge amount of time.
And it will look great on your

Bureau will send some of our
savvy students to speak to
various groups in varous situa-
tions, ranging from Rotary
Club meetings to high school
assemblies and PTA
meetings. Speech topics will
vary, but will generally center
around the theme of what con-
stitutes a good college educa-
tion and how young people
can be sure of acquiring such.
The Bureau will serve the dual
purpose of providing much

Best And Worst Movies Of 1 985

by Elizabeth Mullis

The year 1985 saw a myriad
of movie projects ranging from
trips backward through time in
a magical Delorean to the
chronical of a black woman's
rise to realize her own self
worth.

Sylvester Stallone secured
himself as one of the
wealthiest (and least talented)
of all Hollywood's figures. And
Cher cast aside her tacky Son-
ny Bono image to emerge as
one of the best serious ac-
tresses of the eighties.

Of the hundreds of movies
that hit the silver screen last
year some were excellent and
some convinced us that even
in today's industrialized com-
puter society, with emphasis
on the exact and the true, the
phrase "To err is human . .
still is applicable. (And there
were some BIG errors.)

But first the excellent.

The Amish countryside is in-
vaded by modern civilization in
Witness, the story of an Amish
boy who witnesses a murder in
Philadelphia's Fiftieth Street
Station. The boy's mother (Kel-
ly McGillis) and the in-
vestigating officer (Harrison
Ford) become entangled in a
suspenseful tale of mystery
and intrigue.

Mask, the well crafted film
about the life of Rocky Dennis
and his biker mom (played by
Cher), proved that Cher's
nomination for her role in
Silkwood was no fluke. The
movie is enthralling as mom
fights for her disfigured son's
rights.

Three of Hollywood's best
actresses unite for a gripping

film, Agnes of God. Jane Fon-
da finally found the perfect
part for her obsessive per-
sonality. Anne Bancroft trium-
phs as the wise mother
superior. And Meg Tillie
shines as the virginial Agnes.
A chilling, suspenseful tale of
the murder of an unwanted
baby conceived in the body of
a young innocent. Agnes of
God questions many tenants
of modern and historical
religion.

Meryl Streep gives a
superior performance
alongside still extremely good-
looking Robert Redford in Out
of Africa. This movie
chronicals the life of a young
Danish woman who owns a
farm in Africa. The movie
focuses on the ultimate
loneliness of human existence
as Redford and Streep find
themselves caught up in a
relationship yet unable to
share their souls.

Steven Spielberg takes a
turn away from his box-office
extraterrestrial success to
come south for a while in Alice
Walker's Pulitzer Prize winn-
ing The Color Purple. Whoopi
Goldberg emerges from the
commedianne's cocoon and
changes into a beautifully
talented actress portraying a
young black woman in search
of herself.

On the opposite end of the
spectrum were the bad, the
worse and the ridiculous.

Jennifer Beals' and Sting's
flop The Bride tells the story of
Dr. Frankenstein's creation of
a bride for his male monster.

Holly Rogers clowns around in the Kid's show.

Dance Barre

by Gina Greely

The new year is proving to
be busy and exciting for
Studio Dance.

The company gave a
wonderful performance for the
Agnes Scott alumni on Thurs-
day, January 23. Four dances
were performed. "Discovery"
by Andrea Morris, "Jade
Flower (Yulan)" and "Southern
Comfort" both by Marilyn Darl-
ing were among the dances
performed.

Today, Friday, January 31,
at 11:30, the group will perform
for area children in the annual
Kid's Show. Everyone is in-
vited to attend. The show has
a circus theme that will in-
clude animals and the Mup-
pets. There will also be tight-

iliLiLtLil

rope walkers and can-can
girls. Thanks to all the
choreographers for all their
hard work. Also, special
thanks to Andrea Morris for
her producing efforts, and
Beth Land for her work with
costumes.

The company has also
started rehearsals for the
Spring Concert which will be
in May.

Sting's passion was tiresome,
and Beals' hair always needed
to be brushed. Stick to music,
Sting, and, Jennifer, go back
to Yale.

James Bond is alive and
well (though I wish someone
would shoot him and put him
out of my misery). Grace Jones
and Duran Duran join Roger
Moore for this essay in bad
film-making techniques. And
unless you want to hear the
same song played over and
over again, don't bother with
the soundtrack.

Madonna made her film
debut in the really badly done
Desperately Seeking Susan.
Susan Siedelman may have
succeeded in getting one of to-
day's most popular music
stars on the screen, but let
disgusting Madonna go back
to equally disgusting Detroit.
That's all I desperately want to
do to her.

And I saved the two most
ridiculous for last. Sylvester
Stallone gets the double
raspberry award for his equal-
ly shallow performances in
Rambo and Rocky IV. Both
these movies were not only in-
sulting, but they proved the
thesis that Stallone should
have quit after Rocky I when
he obviously sustained too
many blows to the head to
ever be able to speak anything
but grunts and mumbles.

Let's hope he's swindled
enough money from the
general public so he can retire
to a quiet, hopefully very
remote area of the world
where he can "Adrianne!"
himself silly.

Williams'
Classic

At; A^tSmCj*

by Louisa Parker

The Alabama Shakespeare
Festival's production of Ten-
nessee Williams' "The Glass
Menagerie" was an excep-
tionally humorous version of
the play that typically com-
bines humor with depression.

The narrartor, "Tom"
(played by Robert Browning),
exploded with energy. His
delivery accentuated the com-
ic situations in this
predominantly serious play. In
fact, all the characters' ex-
cellent timing provided comic
relief from the somber mood.

Unfortunately, the play was
often difficult to hear. Mrs.
Daniel Roy commented,
"because of the full house,
people had to strain to hear
even on front rows." Needless
to say. it was surprising that a
professional company like the
Alabama Shakespeare

A.S.C. Students Present
A Night Of One -Acts

The Agnes Scott College
theatre department will pre-
sent "An Evening of One-Act
Plays" February 7 and 8 at 8:15
p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building. Directed by Agnes
Scott students, the three one-
act plays promise to enthrall,
amuse and stimulate the au-
dience.

The program will begin with
The Golden Fleece, written by
A.R. Gurney and directed by
Anne M. Spry. In this produc-
tion, the classic Jason-Medea
tale provides the structure for
an unconventional portayal of
a most conventional modern
marriage. Comedy overlies
tragedy as we watch the
characters struggle with the
reality that replaces their fairy-
tale ideals of marriage. Ms.
Spry, a senior majoring in
psychology, describes her first
attempt at directing as "an ex-
citing and terrifying ex-
perience."

Antic Spring by Robert Nail
tells the whimsical story of six

characters who venture out for
a picnic on a beautiful spring
day. The interactions of a
bossy leader who has
meticulously planned the
afternoon, a self-centered poet
who attempts to appreciate
the outing, high school
sweethearts who constantly
break-up and make-up, and a
disgusted little brother who is
the unwilling object of a young
girl's infatuation inspire hear-
ty laughter. Ansley Scoville, a
senior theatre major from Grif-
fin, Georgia, will direct this
highly amusing one-act.

Finally, Joel Ensana's
Please, No Flowers provides a
poignant, bittersweet look at
death, from the point of view
of the deceased. Directed by
Rachel Hubbard, a junior ma-
joring in theatre and classical
studies, the play explores how
a lack of communication can
make life much more unplea-
sant than it might be.

The February 7 and 8 pro-
ductions are free and open to
the public.

Six Artists, Six Directions
On Display At Dana

55

"Six Artists, Six Directions"
is now featured at Agnes Scott
College's Invitational Art Ex-
hibit in the Dalton Galleries of
the Dana Fine Arts Building.
The exhibit opened with a
reception on Sunday, January
19. from 2:00 - 4:30 p.m., and
will continue through February
15.

The artists whose works are
displayed are Allison Christie,
Nick Cook, Grady Kimsey,
Faye Behar Mitchell, William
J. Nixon, Jr., and Susan Perry.
Their diverse backgrounds are
reflected in their works which
include ceramic and hand-
made paper sculptures, lyrical
paintings, turned wood
vessels, architecturally
distinctive watercolors and
spiritual sculptures and con-
structions.

Susan Perry, whose medium
is handmade paper, is a 1977
graduate of Agnes Scott. She
describes her work in both
visual and tactile terms, en-

couraging viewers to touch her
work. "In my exploration of
paper, I realized that the
qualities inherent in different
materials inspired my work.
The colors in dryer lint, the tex-
ture of a palm front or the
gesture of curving bamboo
would arouse my curiosity and
my need to create a piece. In
an installation, I want to
create an environment in
which the viewer would ap-
preciate more fully the primal
foundations of sensory ex-
perience," she stated. Ms.
Perry's exhibit of handmade
paper sculptures received first
prize in the Long Beach Art
Association Open Juried Ex-
hibit at the Long Beach Visual
Arts Center in California.

The "Six Artists, Six Direc-
tions" exhibit is free and open
to the public. Gallery hours
are: Monday through Friday, 9
a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday
and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

SUPPORT THE ARTS AT A.S.C.

Festival would have such a dif-
ficult time projecting.

A couple of members of the
audience, Dana Maine and
Thea Mayne, also complained
that the play dragged in the
middle.

Overall, the play was an

entertaining portrayal of
Williams' masterpiece. As
Rebecca Earnshaw conclud-
ed, "The play was good, but I
don't think that the actors
should receive all the credit.
Not that the actors were bad,
but how can you go wrong with
Tennessee Williams?"

showcase more than 20 im-
ages from the museum's per-
manent collection, will be on
view from January 28 through
March 5 in the Atrium.

Born in Lenox, Mass., Van
DerZee (1886-1983), is best
known for his depiction of
black middle class life in
Harlem. A photographer of
people, he chronicled more
than 50 years of this unique
black community through im-
ages of families, church
groups, fraternities, political
and religious leaders, writers,
musicians, singers, dancers,
actors, weddings and funerals.
His work, which documents an
important period in black
America's social and cultural
development, is both a
historical record of archival
value and an achievement of
disciplined and feeling art.

While Van DerZee was cap-
turing Harlem life, P. H. Polk
was recording activities in
Tuskegee, Ala. As the official
photographer for the
Tuskegee Institute for more
than 40 years, Polk's works
provide a rich history of the In-
stitute as well as the area and
its people. His images of
beautifully coiffured women in
satin and lace, men in their
finest linen and children in
their Sunday best, were pic-

tures of Southern blacks as
they were seldom portrayed in
that era — prosperous,
dignified and respectable.
Polk remained in Tuskegee un-
til his death in 1984.

In addition to the
photography exhibition, the
Museum is hosting a month-
long celebration of activities
ranging from storytelling to
films.

What: A month-long celebra-
tion of exhibitions, workshops,
lectures, films and perfor-
mances.

When: January 28 - March 5.

Where: Majority of events

will be at the Woodruff Arts
Center, however, select ac-

nationally-recognized Black
History Month.

Civil Rights Exhibit
At Emory

Almost two decades of work
by nationally— known artist
Robert Templeton will be on
view at Emory University's
Schatten Gallery in the Robert
W. Woodruff Library from
February 1—28 in the exhibi-
tion, "Lest We Forget ... Im-
ages of the Black Civil Rights
Movement."

After completing a Time
magazine cover of the Detroit
riots in 1967, Templeton began
to record the people and
events of the black civil rights
movement. Included in this
powerful exhibition are por-
traits of Frederick Douglass,
W.E.B DuBois, Malcom X,
Rosa Parks, Hubert Hum-
phrey, Booker T. Washington
and Atlanta Constitution
editor Ralph McGill. The
curator for the exhibit is Prof.
Jontyle Theresa Robinson.

The exhibition is dominated
by an enormous painting (84"
x 94") of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. The collection is a
tribute to this great civil rights
leader during the period of the
first national observance of
his birth. In addition, the ex-
hibit is timed to coincide with
the national observance of
Black History Month.

Templeton hopes the ex-
hibit will serve to move and to

educate its audience on the
turbulent struggle by both
black and white leaders to
achieve equality for all
members of society. He feels
this to be of particular impor-
tance since young people, in-
cluding many college— age
students, did not experience
the embroiled civil rights
movement of the 1960s or the
deaths of Martin Luther King,
Jr., Robert Kennedy and John
F. Kennedy.

Many of Robert Templeton's
paintings hang in such
well — known places as the
Smithsonian's National Por-
trait Gallery (portraits of Jim-
my Carter and Hubert Hum-
phrey), the Pentagon and the
Lyndon B. Johnson Presiden-
tial Liberty. Among his many
credits, Templeton has receiv-
ed commissions for portraits
and paintings from Time
magazine, the National Por-
trait Gallery, Luciano Pavarotti
and Joan Sutherland.

Hours for Schatten Gallery
are: Mon. - Thurs. from 8 — 12
a.m., Fri. from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m.,
Sat. from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and
Sun. from 1 p.m. - 12 a.m. The
exhibit is sponsored by the
Division of Campus Life; ad-
mission is free. For more infor-
mation, call (404) 727-6201 or

ASC At AT&T : Pros Reach Out And Touch Students

by Jill Owens

"AT&T: Reach out and touch
someone." For more than fif-
teen members of the Agnes
Scott community, AT&T lived
up to its familiar jingle in an
unusual way. AT&T and Visa
sponsored the AT&T
Challenge, a week-long tour-
nament that featured eight of
the world's best male profes-
sional players, competing for
a total of $500,000 in prize
money.

It provided an opportunity
for many avid tennis fans to
meet, watch, or talk to their
favorite players. John
McEnroe, Jimmy Connors,
Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg,
Yannick Noah, Kevin Curren,
Anders Jarryd, and Andres
Gomez were on hand at the
Omni for the round robin
event. The field was divided in-
to two groups. Everyone
played every other player in
his group; the two players with
the best records advanced to
the semi-fianls.

Ivan Lendl, the number one
seed, earned a semi-final bid
by going undefeated in his
group. He did not have an easy
match, though with Noah.
Claire Guitton called the
Lendl-Noah duel, "by far the
best match of the
tournament." Lendl emerged
the victor after two hours and
twenty minutes of on-court
battle. Noah would stop at
nothing — even throwing
himself onto the court — in his
attempt to beat Lendl. Lendl
won 6-3, 6-7 (7-4), 7-6 (10-8).
Jimmy Connors was the
runner-up in that group with
wins over Noah and Gomez.

In the other group, it looked
like John McEnroe would
cruise to the semi-finals with a
3-0 record too, but he was
upset by a 19 year old Swede
named Stefan Edberg. Edberg
seved extremely well and
broke McEnroe once, en route
to his 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) victory over
the second seed. His win gave
him a semi-final match

against Connors while
McEnroe faced Lendl. But
Edberg's serve was just slight-
ly less magnificent than the
day before and he missed just
enough to let Connors
dominate the match and win,

6- 3, 6-3. Lendl beat McEnroe

7- 6 (7-4), 6-3 to give Connors
another shot at defeating the
world's number one ranked
player.

Connors figured out that he
was five and a half playing
hours up on Lendl, who had a
couple long matches, "But,"
he told the Atlanta Journal,
"I'm also at a seven and a half
year disadvantage, so it evens
out in the end doesn't it?" The
seven and a half years seemed
to give Lendl more than a
slight advantage, he won 6-3,
6-4.

Lendl won the trophy, but
the Swedes won the hearts of
the Agnes Scott fans. Claire
Guitton said, "The Swedes are
the epitomy of tennis class."
Traci MacMahon's favorite

player of the tournament was
Swedish Anders Jarryd. "He
goes out there; he plays; if he
screws up, it's cool.
Everything's cool with the
Swedes," she said.

Stefan Edberg may not have
captured the AT&T title, but
her certainly did capture the
attention of many female fans.
Mishana Mogelnicki said that
she likes him because he is
young, has zest and energy,
and looks like he enjoys the
game. The tall blond and his
doubles partner, Anders Jar-
ryd, not only earned the ad-
miration of many a young girl,
but also earned the doubles ti-
tle by defeating Andres Gomez
and Jaime Yuzaga in the semi-
finals and Kevin Curren and
Mark Dickson in the finals.
Curren and Dickson reached
the finals by beating Stan
Smith and Bob Lutz.

Jimmy Connors may not
have been the favorite player,
but nearly all of the Agnes
Scott crowd admired the show

GJC Beats ASC

by Pilar Duque

The Agnes Scott basketball
team played its first home
game against Gainesville
Junior College on Tuesday,
January 22, and although the
score was very close during
most of the game, they lost.

The game was a very in-
teresting and entertaining
one, and the players, the
coach, and "cheering squad"
gave it all they had. Claire
Guitton had an exceptionally
good game, scoring 16 of the
team's 38 points.

The first half ended 23-19 in
favour of the visiting team,
although towards the end
there was a clear dominion of
our Agnes Scott represen-
tatives. The second half did
not start out favorably for our

team, and Gainesville took ad-
vantage of this by scoring
more points. The score at the
end was a respectable 48-38.

After the game, Coach
Peterson had a talk with her
players in which she told them
that she was proud of the way
they all responded; their effort
had been good. When I ques-
tioned her about her personal
feelings on this game, she
said that the players' ability to
respond to her directions as to
defensive and offensive plays
in the middle of the game was
remarkable. She ended by say-
ing that the student support
for the game was very much
appreciated, and that she
hopes that for the team's only
other home game, on February
6, the attendance will double.

he put on. Mitrina Mogelnicki
like him because "he livens up
the audience." Lendl was
another favorite. He put his
own amount of entertainment
into his performances. When
serving against Noah in a final
set tiebreaker, the crowd was
roaring and could hardly be
quieted. Finally with a match
point just a serve away for
Lendl, an unfamiliar hush fell
across the crow. Lendl stop-
ped his service preparation,
looked up to the crowd and
said, "Why are you so quiet
now?"

The tennis at the Omni was
incredible, the crowd en-
thusiastic, and the players ap-
preciative. Both Lendl and
Connors, as well as Jarryd and
Edberg, thanked the crowd for
coming out and supporting the
event. The AT&T champion-
ships have found a home — at
least for a while — at the Om-
ni. Next November will bring
back more players and more
opportunities to "reach out
and touch someone."

Ex-Hostage Ben Weir Speaks at Vesper Service

by Pam Callahan

The Christian Association of
Agnes Scott was pleased to have
Ben and Carol Weir as guest
speakers at Vespers on January
26.

Ben and Carol have served as
missionaries to Lebanon. They
served in a Shiite Muslim town
near the Israeli border for five
years.

After those five years the Weirs
served a year in Tripoly. Beginning
in 1960 Ben was the Presbyterian
representative in Lebanon and
Syria. He served as the coordina-
tor for emergency relief in Leba-
non when the Israelis were in
power.

On May 8, 1984, Ben was taken
captive. He was released Sep-
tember 24, 1985.

Mr. and Mrs. Weir spoke of their
separate experiences while Mr.
Weir was captive. Carol remained
in Lebanon just under two months.
Realizing she was not making
progress in her attempts to win
freedom for her hunband, she re-
turned to the United States.

After several frustrating months,
the United States government
agreed to support her proposal for
a mediator.

Ben told of the actual kidnap-
ping experience. He was kept in
a room with only a mattress, a light
fixture with no bulb, and two elec-
trical outlets. An active imagina-
tion was able to transform these
ordinary surroundings into the
arms, ears, and eyes of his Lord
which constantly reminded him
that God was near.

Edie Hsiung and Pam Callahan speak to Ben Weir

The reminder, along with heav-
ily populated dreams helped to
stifle his loneliness. After thirty-
five days of captivity he was given

an Arabic New Testament. He
cherished it until it was taken
away.

Later, it was replaced by a Re-

vised Standard Version of the
Bible written in English. He had
access to this Bible until his re-
lease 495 days after his capture.

Sophomores Share Agnes Scott with Parents

by Amy Gottsche

Friday, January 31 through Sun-
day, February 2 the class of 1988
sponsored Sophomore Parents'
Weekend. The event was a unani-
mous success. Between 70 and
80 parents attended the big week-
end, enjoying teas, slideshows,
mock classes, a Tea Dance, and
most of all seeing their daughters
and Agnes Scott.

Friday afternoon, parents regis-
tered in the Hub where they re-
ceived a nametag and a program
which was cleverly put together
by Katie Hagar, and the fun be-
gan! The parents were able to
meet the Agnes Scott Faculty at
a tea held in the Dana Fine Arts
Building from 3:30 to 5:30. This
faculty open house was organized
by Ellen Jones. Later that night,
in Gaines, parents and students
viewed the Sophomore Slideshow
and Production. The slideshow,
put together by Renee Caudill,
was a fifteen minute music and
photo extravaganza that had the
entire audience roaring with laugh-
ter one minute and thoughtful and

inspired the next. The slideshow
was extremely well put together
and thoroughly entertaining. It
gave the parents an insight into
college life at Agnes Scott today.

Immediately following the slide-
show, was the Production, entitled
"Sophomore Showcase." This va-
riety of "talent" acts was directed
by Jeanie Norton and Meg Bryant
and emceed by Caroline Sigman.
The talent ranged from can-can
dancing to singing, and from piano
playing to a comedy skit about life
at Agnes Scott. Attendance was
good and it is certain that all were
impressed with the class of 1988's
talent!!!

Saturday morning began with
another registration for those par-
ents who had just arrived, and the
mock classes began. From 9:30
to 10:30 parents could choose a
French lecture by Madame Chat-
angier or an English lecture about
Marsha Norman by Mrs. Hubert,
filling in at the last moment for
Mrs. Pinka who was ill. Then from
10:15 to 10:45, parents attended
either an economics lecture by Dr.

Weber or an astronomy lecture
by Dr. Sadun. Finally, the mock
classes ended with a choice be-
tween Dr. Chang's Bible lecture or
Dr. Venable's chemistry lecture at
11:30. Perhaps the parents were
forced to recall the memory that
college is NOT easy!

At 11 :45, Dean Behan and Dean
Hall gave a 45 minute talk/ques-
tion-and-answer period about "The
Transition to Semesters." They
made the parents aware of the
change from quarters to semes-
ters and explained the ramifica-
tions of this transition. The deans
gave the parents the new calen-
dar dates on the early semester
system; when classes begin and
end and the exam schedule for
1986-1987. They explained the re-
vised distributional standards and
how the students' quarter hours
will transpose to semester hours.
The financial issue was discussed
as well as cross registration with
local colleges and universities.

The luncheon honoring the par-
ents was served in the upper din-
ing hall at 1 :00. The luncheon was
a buffet-type meal. The tables

were arranged in rows complete
with tablecloths and centerpieces.
The class officers and the partici-
pating deans sat at the head table.
Tracy McMahon, sophomore class
president began the meal with a
prayer. She then proceeded to in-
troduce all the sophomores who
had worked so hard to make the
weekend a success and the deans
whose participation was greatly
appreciated. Finally, she formally
welcomed the parents to Agnes
Scott and to Sophomore Parents'
Weekend, 1986.

The afternoon concluded with
a Tea Dance from 3:30 to 5:00 in
the lower terrace dining room. Or-
ganized by Adele Clements, there
was a live jazz band and lots of
tea and cookies. The music was

wonderful and many parents (and
fathers and daughters) danced to-
gether and enjoyed one another's
company. It was also an excellent
opportunity to meet everyone else's
parents and to talk about Agnes
Scott.

Sophomore Parents' Weekend
concluded Sunday morning with
a continental Breakfast in Winship
Lobby from 8:30 to 10:00. The
weekend was a wonderful experi-
ence for all who participated. The
class of 1988 would like to thank
all those who worked so hard to
make the weekend enjoyable, and
congratulations to Parents' Week-
end Chairman, Felicia Perritt, and
to all her hard working committee
members and chairmen on an
outstanding event!

Women's Movement: Dead or Alive

(Decatur, GA.) - Citing the
apparent apathetic attitudes of
today's young women toward the
women's movement, Phyllis
Schlafly, founder of the anti-femi-
nist "Eagle Forum", has declared
feminism "a dead issue." Mean-
while, Eleanor Smeal, president
of the "National Organization for
Women," is calling for a renewed
spirit of activism within the move-
ment to recapture the attention
and mobilize the support of wo-
men, young and old, across the
U.S. Though the battles of the
"old guard" continue, one thing is
clear— regardless of their attitudes
toward the women's movement,
young women today are prepared
to meet the challenges and reap
the benefits of being a woman in
the eighties.

A recent survey of freshmen at
Agnes Scott College, a private,
liberal arts college for women
located in a suburb of Atlanta,
Georgia, presented a profile of
young women who are focused
on careers and geared for suc-
cess. The "Astin Survey," part of
the Cooperative Institutional Re-
search Program conducted jointly
by the American Council on Edu-
cation and the University of Cali-

fornia, Los Angeles, showed that
more than 84 percent of Agnes
Scott's freshmen expect to earn
graduate degrees, almost 25 per-
cent plan medical or law degrees.
Further, almost 50 percent say
they chose Agnes Scott because
the graduates go to top graduate
schools and 55 percent say they
feel Scott graduates get good jobs.

Only 1 percent of the students
surveyed said they plan to be full-
time homemakers, while more
than 16 percent plan to be busi-
ness executives or proprieters, 21
percent lawyers or physicans, 9
percent writers or journalists, and
8 percent plan careers in foreign
service.

Dr. Ruth Schmidt, president of
Agnes Scott College and chair of
the Women's College Coalition, a
professional organization repre-
senting women's colleges in the
United States, discussed the
seemingly conflicting viewpoints
of today's teens: "Young women
today have grown up knowing that
there is a whole world out there
for them. Unlike my generation,
and others that have been in-
volved in the women's movement,
these students have grown up
knowing that they can be astro-

nauts, doctors and lawyers, that
they can sit on the boards of cor-
porations, that they can, in fact,
do whatever they want to do if they
properly prepare to do so. And
they don't feel that they need the
women's or any other movements
to help them.

"Students at Agnes Scott are
very motivated and have a very
strong sense of themselves and
their abilities. In the Astin Survey,
over two-thirds of the students
rated themselves above average in
academic ability, drive to achieve,
and intellectual self-confidence.
Their strong self-perceptions, com-
bined with the knowledge that a
liberal education provides, will en-
able them to achieve the goals
they have set for themselves,"
President Schmidt continued.

For the current generation of
teenage women, the heroines for
the women's movement— Susan
B. Anthony, Rosie the Riveter, and
Gloria Steinam — appear to have
been replaced with the achievers
of today like Sally Ride and Ger-
aldine Ferraro. And the response
to the women's movement is, for
teenagers, "What's the big deal?
Why shouldn't a woman be an as-
tronaut, anyway?"

The 1986 Junior Jaunt has al-
ready surpassed both the expec-
tations of the Class of 1987 and
the results of last year's efforts to
raise funds for the Grady Rape
Crisis Center. At latest count, the
collections exceeded $425.00, as
compared to last year's approxi-
mately $300.00. This figure does
not include the funds generated
by the Sophomore class dorm
photos, because they are operat-
ing by the same photo-order sys-
tem as is used for Social Council
Events, and the orders have not

yet been taken. It does include
$300.00 raised by the Senior Raf-
fle, approximatley $90.00 raised
by the Freshman class waitresses
and funds from the Junior class'
Ban Herb buttons, which are still
on sale.

Jennifer Spurlin, President of the
Junior Class, called the event "a
great sucess," on the whole, but
added some regret that the "Wake

Memorial

by Beth Brubaker

After the January 28 space
Shuttle tragedy, the January 29
convocation, scheduled by the Ad-
missions Office and entitled "What
Do Z-93, 96 Rock and Agnes
Scott Have in Common?", was
postponed in order that a memo-
rial service could be held to re-
member the seven passengers
who died in the shuttle explosion.

President Schmidt opened the
service by stating briefly the pur-
pose of the service, explaining the
postponement of the previously
scheduled convocation and ex-
pressing her own grief for the loss
of the seven Americans. The Pres-
ident then turned the service over
to the college Chaplain, Miriam
Dunson, who spoke of the grief
that the community felt and of-
fered suggestions for dealing with
the shock and sadness that such
a tragedy creates. The chaplain
said that the day's events, the ex-
citement of the launch and then

Radio Ads Affront to Students?

by Elizabeth Mullis

"Television appeals to the lowest
common denominator of intelli-
gence," Erskine Caldwell related
to Agnes Scott students last quar-
ter. I doubt his opinion of the radio
would be much better.

Radio was an amazing inven-
tion. It helped universalize Ameri-
can culture. It brought us the voice
of a great President in the fire-side
chat.

But sadly, today's radio has
regressed to a tool of commer-
cialism, crash capitalism and
mass-market media.

I ask you: what does Agnes
Scott truly have to benefit from en-
tering into this arena?

As a freshman I came to Agnes
Scott when the phrase 'All we
want are a few good women" was
on everyone's lips. Our new mes-
sage will now be 'All we want are
as many people as we can recruit
through distorted advertising."

Last year when former Vice-

President Walter Mondale came
to campus, a local radio personal-
ity quipped that the reason Mon-
day's runningmate Geraldine Fer-
raro did not come with him was
because the students did not
know who she was, that we thought
a Ferraro was what "our Daddies
gave us at graduation."

Haven't we, by the very virtue
of our shallow advertising on the
radio, conceeded that the an-
nouncer's artificial assessment of
Agnes Scott students is correct?

I seriously doubt the clarity of
thought that is behind this latest
step of image-molding. Let's re-
flect on the nature of advertise-
ment: sell your product to the con-
sumer, tell him or her what he or
she wants to hear. A certain
amount of distortion and bending
of truths is a given in the industry.

The commercials present Agnes
Scott as a fun-loving kind of place
where girls watch old reruns and
gorge on tacos. These charac-

teristics are not alien to Agnes
Scott, nor are they the intellectual
norm.

Telling the radio listener that
Agnes Scott is predominantly
cutesie, friendly and fun neglects
to mention our stronger charac-
teristics such as academics and
intellectual community, charac-
teristics that are the very basis of
our educational tradition.

In essence are we not selling a
false product to the consumer?

I would hate to think that Agnes
Scott would compromise itself this
way just for the sake of money,
and, let's face it, the ultimate aim
of advertising is to make money

I think the creators of this com-
mercial idea should carefully
reexamine their intentions and
their hopes for what these com-
mercials will accomplish for
Agnes Scott.

If Agnes Scott can no longer
function on the philosophy of "a
few good women," maybe it
shouldn't function at all.

ASC the day King
died . . .

Dear Editor:

With all of the events surrounding
the Martin Luther King, Jr. Birth-
day celebration still vivid in our
minds, it might be interesting to
recall an earlier time when this
community was closer to the life
and work of Dr. King. When the
assasination took place, I was a
first year assistant professor still
wondering what kind of college
this was. Some of my questions
were to be soon answered when
Ben Kline, then Dean of the Fac-
ulty, called me; he asked if my wife
and I would coordinate the efforts
on our campus to house some of
the visitors who were then begin-
ning to pour into the city for Dr.

BE

OURS!
WRITE
for the
PROFILE

King's funeral. Susan and I con-
tacted the visitor's bureau run by
the Southern Christian Leader-
ship Conference; they asked us
to find beds for those who would
be coming into town the evening
before the funeral. As well we
were to gather volunteer drivers
and cars to pick up people at the
airport and take them to their over-
night accommodations.

So we got the faculty directory
out, frankly wondering whether
anyone of those— tous— imposing
figures would want perfect stran-
gers invading their sedate homes.
In fact, with one exception, every-
one contacted was delighted to be
able to help at a time when there
was so much hurt and unhappi-
ness; some even contacted us. I
cannot now remember all of those
who opened their homes; but I do
recall Bertie Bond, Kay Manuel,
and Kate McKemie putting up sev-

eral people; Mollie Merrick and
Carrie Scandrett, then Dean of
Students, also took several stran-
gers in. The Browns, the Hannas,
and others made that warm and
healing gesture. Nor were the stu-
dents left out; they volunteered
their cars and formed a small taxi
fleet, picking up travelers at the
airport and driving them to the
SCLC Headquarters on Auburn
Avenue or to hotels and private
homes. After the funeral was over
and the visitors had left, so many
of us had stories to tell of experi-
ences which redeemed that dark
time.

While it was not a grand work
that we performed, it has always
remained in my memory as an apt
symbol of the life of someone who
discovered the hearts of so many.

Sincerely,
Richard D. Parry

The President's Mit

Many colleges and universities in Georgia observed Martin Luther
King 's birthday by cancelling classes. Why didn 't Agnes Scott do so?

To my knowledge, no formal request was made to the President or
to the faculty to cancel classes on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.

The officers of the college had discussed the possibility of closing
the College for the first observance of this important anniversary, but
since we do not observe other commemorative holidays on the federal
and state calendar, we did not make an exception for this holiday.

For next year, we shall begin classes the day after the Martin Luther
King holiday, and as we gather to begin the spring semester, we must
plan for appropriate commemoration of this important day for all in our
community. I look forward to next year as Agnes Scott celebrates
Martin Luther King. Jr.'s birthday.

I was proud of the efforts of Agnes Scott people, principally the
Students for Black Awareness, who marched in the parade and who
also organized a very fine convocation and vesper service prior to the
holiday itself. As we saw the world's attention turn toward Atlanta and
the legacy of Dr. King, we could be especially proud that Corretta Scott
King was our commencement speaker last June.

TO THE POINT

by Becky Moses

Of all the campus newspapers which find their way to box
764 or my perusal, The Technique most consistently demon-
strates layout and journalistic excellence and creativity. It is
therefore baffling to me that the Technique so frequently jeop-
ardizes its integrity with its cavalier display of white-trash
sexism.

For months and despite intense criticism, the Technique ran
a photo feature entitled "Babe of the Week." The photos were
all candids of female students and were generally acccom-
panied by captions which commented on the anatomy of the
subject in a borderline perverse fashion. Since the two most
recent issues of the Technique contained no "Babes," how-
ever, it appeared that the Editorial staff has decided to dis-
continue the series.

But just as I was about to applaud the Editorial staff for
having the courage to stop a feature that it never ought to
have started - BING - I turned to page seventeen of the
Technique's January seventeenth issue. There, for all the
world to see, was a half-page ad supposedly for the purpose
of recruiting Features writers. The ad read, "We are looking
at, I mean, for a few good women," and pictured John Candy
staring open mouthed at a topless woman sitting on a bed.
The ad continued, "If you can print your name...," and con-
cluded, "Features. We have no morals."

The blatancy of this ad and its intentions speak for them-
selves. My question is this: What does it take to get through
to the Editorial staff of the Technique that ads and attitudes
like these are an affront to the women at Georgia Tech who,
merely by choosing to be educated in the disciplines offered
by Tech, have proven themselves far beyond such stereo-
types? One would gather from reading the Technique that the
women at Georgia Tech were regarded as little more than
breasts and legs - like a bucket of chicken.

Generally speaking, I leave the business of feminism to
others. But I find myself frustrated by the Technique's refusal
to be conscious of the rights of women in an otherwise worthy
publication, and could not help but comment on what I feel
is extremely unfair.

Symposium Overrules Classes

by Louisa Parker

The Agnes Scott adminstration
has found an even better reason
than snow to call off school: a sym-
posium on "The Liberal Arts Col-
lege, Private Enterprise, and the
Future World." As part of his
duties. Albert Badre, the Smith
Chair of Free Enterprise, selected
the topic, the title, and the set-up
of the symposium. The entire com-
mittee: Albert Badre. David Behan,
Ayse Carden, Ellen Hall, Connie
Jones. Bob Leslie, Myrtle Lewin,
Mollie Merrick, John Studstill, and
Bill Weber worked within this
framework to develop the two-day
symposium to be held on Feb-
ruary 18 and 19.

The goal of the symposium is
to take three apparently unrelated
topics and to reveal how they are
actually related. Dr. Michael Mes-
con will discuss America's unique
free enterprise system in the first
session of the symposium. At the
second session, Dr. Catherine
Stimpson will cover the liberal arts
college, another strictly American
institution. The third session, lead
by Dr. Walter Davis, Jr., will explain
to what extent these topics relate
to the entire world. All the ses-
sions will try to answer the follow-
ing questions: "What interaction is
there between these institutions?"
and "In what way do we prepare
young people to handle the de-

velopment of these institutions
into the eighties, ninties, and the
year two-thousand 9 ""

Agnes Scott Tias never before
sponsored anything of this type
and magnitude. The symposium
committee hopes that, by partici-
pating, Agnes Scott students will
become more aware of these and
other universal issues. The sym-
posium is yet another example of
the administration's interest in in-
creased global awareness. Pro-
viding ASC students with a re-
freshing, unconventinal method of
education, the symposium is also
open to other academic institu-
tions and the general public.

Spend Your Summer
In India

Gang Rape: A Campus Concern

A study tour to India is being
conducted during June and July.
1986, as one of Agnes Scott's first
offerings in its Global Awareness
Program. Two courses, one for 4
semester credit hours in sociology
entitled "Indian Culture and Soci-
ety" and one for 4 semester credit
hours in history and political sci-
ence called "India and the World
Today," will be directed by group
leaders, Professors Constance
Jones and Penelope Campbell.
Both professors have been in
India recently arranging for guest
lecturers, field trips to villages,
museums, and historic sites, and
cultural programs. Altogether, the
tour is 5 weeks in length: 2 weeks
of class in Bombay, 1 week of

classes in Madras, and 2 weeks
of travel. Some of the places to
be visited are the Taj Mahal in
Agra, the Ganges riverfront in
Varanasi (Benares), the Red Fort,
Indira Ghandi Memorial, Jama
Masjid mosque in Delhi, and the
Vale of Kashmir.

The cost, which includes ac-
commodations, all meals, and all
transportation from Atlanta back
to Atlanta is $3200.00 There is
some scholarship money avail-
able. For a detailed description of
the study tour, contact Professor
Jones (Ext. 229) or Campbell
(373-7505) or Dr. John Studstill,
Director of the Global Awareness
Program (ext. 212).

The senario is basically the
same: A fraternity holds a party.
In many cases but by no means
in all, a young woman has had
too much to drink and /or too many
drugs. Therefore she may be un-
aware that "friendly" persuasion of
the brothers is actually a planned
pursuit of easy prey. By the time
she recognizes her predicament,
her confusion has changed to fear
and panic, and escape seems
impossible. She is unable to pro-
test or her protests are ignored.
Anywhere from two to eleven men
rape her.

from Campus Gang Rape:
Party Games?

Campuses around the country
have been shocked whenever an
acquaintance gang rape comes to
light at their institution. Neither
isolated nor rare, these incidents
continue to occur at all types of
institutions, from small private col-
leges to large state universities.

These are among the findings
reported in a new study published
this month by the Project on the
Status and Education of Women
(PSEW) of the Association of
American Colleges. "On some
campuses, we heard reports of
gang rapes happening every week
at parties. Apparently this behavior
is far more common than anyone

suspected," says Julie K. Ehrhart,
co-author of the report, Campus
Gang Rape: Party Games? "Sex-
ually abusive behavior, including
acquaintance gang rape, often
arises out of very poor commu-
nication and misunderstandings
among young men and young wo-
men and differing expectations
about appropriate sex roles and
behaviors," says Ehrhart.

The report describes the dynam-
ics of acquaintance gang rape in
the campus setting:

• the consequences to the victim,
the rapists, and to the academic
community;

• the role that fraternities play in

Modern Art in a
language we can all
understand:

Post-Impressionism.

According to Bernice R. Sand-

author, "The majority of the more

fied happened at fraternity parties.
In too many instances, fraternities
do not foster healthy attitudes
about relationships between young
women and young men. It is time
for institutions to look at the role
that the fraternity and sorority sys-
tem plays in campus activities and
to reevaluate social life for all
students."

Baptist Hypos Beat Agnes Scott's "Purple Reign

by Adele Clements

On Thursday, January 30, the
"Purple Reign" visited the Georgia
Baptist Nurses Association bas-
ketball team. The Agnes Scott
team members were apprehen-
sive before the game, especially
when they entered the gym and
a large banner caught their eyes.
At first it appeared that the home
team was called "The Hippos," but
further scrutinization revealed
that the name was really "The
Hypos" (I don't know about you
but I hate needles!). Agnes Scott's
starting five consisted of Lee
Wooton at point guard, Clair Guit-
ton and Marie Davis at the wings,
Tracy MacMahon at forward and
Angela Tonn at center. Tanya Sav-
age, Ellen Jones, Barbara Jen-
kins, and Adele Clements round-
edout the line-up.

The team began the game well
and scored first. Excellent pass-
ing and superior shooting kept the
team ahead during most of the
first half and everyone seemed to
be working well together on plays
such as "Mondeys", "Roll", and

Basketball action during home game vs. Reinhardt

"Tide". Although Marie Davis was
almost lost when she was

knocked down and virtually tram-
pled by a "Hypo", the first half was

exhilerating and at the buzzer the
team was ahead by two points.

The second half began as well
as the first with Agnes Scott scor-
ing the first four points, but sud-
denly it all seemed to fall apart. Lee
Wooton had been injured in the
first half and could not continue
playing and bad passing and poor
calls by the officials furthered the
team's defeat. Tempers flared and
during the fourth quarter Claire
Guitton had four fouls and Marie
Davis fouled out.

In the end the "Purple Reign"
lost but not first without a hard
fight. Angela was the leading
scorer, closely followed by Claire.
Tracy made many "remarkable"
w rebounds and all of the team
S members contributed with skill
> and spirit. Dolly Purvis was invalu-
| able as the team's statistician and
^ Cindy Peterson's coaching meth-
■o odswere beyond reproach as was
| her diplomatic displeasure with
£ the officials. Although they lost,
the Agnes Scott basketball team
members withstood the "Hypos'"
needling and they hope to be vic-
torious in future games.

Dolphin Club: Grace, Coordination , Practice and . . . Fun!

by Mary Carter Whitten

They are graceful and athletic,
they are actresses and dancers,
they participate in a sport which
few schools offer, and Agnes
Scott's Dolphin Club members are
riding a wave of success.

When most students think of
synchronized swimming or "water
ballet" as it is sometimes called,
they remember the flower en-
twined swings, geyser-like foun-
tains, and perfect star formations
of Esther Williams movies. But, as
the Dolphin Club members will tell
you, the sport is very hard work.
Most of the club's twenty-two
members participate in syn-
chronized swimming partially for
the exercise it provides and many,
like Melissa Poulton, augment
their swimming with weight lifting,
jogging and organized sports.
What the public sees is the end
result of hours of group and indi-
vidual practice which includes
basic drills, advanced stunts, and,
often, outside physical training.

However, Dolphin Club is not all
hard work. The students involved
appreciate the grace of the techni-
cal skills they have learned and

enjoy planning costumes, props,
and choreography for their own
shows. They are challenged by
the diversity of the sport, by the
fact that it combines swimming,
acting, and dancing. Dolphin Club
also allows students who would
otherwise have little opportunity
for organized swimming a chance
to sharpen the skills they already
possess, to learn new ones, and
just to relax. An added bonus, as
one student observed, is the
break Dolphin Club offers from
academic and social tensions.

Most Dolphin Club members
have been interested in swirnming
of some form for a long time Many
participated on swim teams in
elementary, middle, and high
school. Some, like Laura Robison
who coaches a swim team during
her summer break, have carried
on their interests outside of
school. At least three of the club
members, Jill Owens, Susan
Terry, and Mary Laymon have had
previous formal experience. Both
Jill and Susan enjoyed syn-
chronized swimming in high
school, while Mary was encour-
aged by a fifth grade gym teacher

to participate in several shows.
Karen Wiseley used to practice
flips and spins in make-believe
shows as a young child and was,
therefore, able to bring her youth-
ful fantasies to realization in Dol-
phin Club.

When they are not splashing
happily about the pool, these stu-
dents pursue a variety of other ac-
tivities. Some are little sisters at
fraternities while others are in-
volved in church functions. Others
are officers or members of student
organizations such as Christian
Association , SGA, Chimo, Col-
lege Republicans, and SARs.
Several are Honors Scholars,
Dana Scholars, and one, Krista
Hedburg, represents the student
body as the sophomore member
of the Curriculum Committee.

The Club's coach, Dr. Kay Man-
ual, is pleased with this year's Dol-
phin Club and feels rewarded
every time a show is put on. "Syn-

chronized swimming is a wonder-
ful sport," Dr. Manual commented,
"because it is creative and skillful."
She has been coaching for "sev-
eral" years simply because the
students enjoy the club's activities
and because she is able to help
each individual build new skills.
"That's my philosophy of sports in
general," she explained, "if the
students involved in Dolphin Club
derive pleasure from the sport,
then it is important to Agnes
Scott." Dr. Manual hopes that, in
future years, the club will progress
to intercollegiate competition.
Until that time, Dolphin Club is
busily providing demonstrations
to hotel and school groups, and
audiences of Agnes Scott stu-
dents, faculty, staff, and friends.
The 1984 Summer Olympic Games
have provided a boost to syn-
chronized swimming programs
around the country and have in-
creasingly created interest in Dol-

phin Club within the Atlanta com-
munity One club member was,
herself, fascinated with the Olym-
pic synchronized swimming com-
petitions and decided to join Dol-
phin Club partially because of
them.

Dolphin Club is a successful
and innovative organization
marked by enthusiastic students
and a caring coach. The Club's
next performance is on February
27th and 28th at 8:15 in the Gym
and is entitled, "Over the Rain-
bow". The 1985-86 Dolphin Club
members are: Joan McGuirt, Jill
Owens, Dana Maine, Mary Ed-
wards, Sarah Goodwin, Krista
Hedburg, Laura Robison, Karen
Wiseley, Felicia Perritt, Laura
Sisk, Melissa Poulton, Mercy
Badia, Lauren Snee, Susan Terry,

Androcles on Stage at A.S.C.

by Jeanine L. Dwinell

The Blackfriars will present An-
drocles and the Lion, a play for
children by Aurand Harris, on Feb-
ruary 27 and 28 at 9:30 a.m.,
11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. and
March 1 and 2 at 2:00 p.m. All
performances will be in the Winter
Theatre in Dana.

Jeanine L. Dwinell, a theatre
major from the junior class, will
direct this production.

All the women in the cast are
freshmen and include Angela
Snedden as Androcles, Amy
Goodloe as Isabella, and Heidi
Staven and Karen King as two
musicians.

The men in the cast are Joel
Fowler, a math professor at Geor-
gia Tech, who plays Pantalone;
Paul Kirbas, who plays the Cap-
tain and is a student at Columbia

Seminary; Al Stilo, a student at
Avondale High School, as the
Lion; and Jeff Batton, a student,
actor, and waiter in Atlanta, as
Lelio.

In his adaptation of Aesop's
well-known fable, Aurand Harris
incorporates the themes of friend-
ship, honesty, and freedom. In the
play Androcles is a Roman slave
who befriends a Lion in the forest.
The Lion returns the favor when
they meet again in the arena.

The play is written in the corn-
media dell'arte style, a theatre
style which existed in Italy from
1550 to 1750 C.E. The two basic
characteristics of commedia are
improvisation and stock charac-
ters.

In commedia, the players fol-
lowed a plot outline but impro-
vised most of the dialogue while
relying on standard bits of stage

business called "lazzi." Although
the Blackfriars' production relies
on a written script, the improvisa-
tional tone pervades the play.

Harris has also incorporated
the stock characters of commedia
into the play. In the commedia
dell'arte style, each actor played
the same character in every play,
but in different situations.

Although the names of the
characters varied somewhat from
troupe to troupe, each play usually
included Pantalone, the miser; the
vain, bragging Captain; two young
lovers; and Harlequin, the clown
who is the counterpart of Andro-
cles in our play.

This production of Androcles
and the Lion retains the idea of
the commedia travelling troupe
but employs a modern group of
players in modern dress and
using modern properties.

Dance Barre

by Gina Greely

The annual Kids' Show was
once again a big hit. The group
performed for area children,
Agnes Scott students and faculty
on January 31.

'Animals" was the dance created
by the fall quarter apprentices
Gwen Palmer, Sarah Napier, Re-
becca Bradley Stacey Ackerman,
and Paige Floyd. The animals in-
cluded in the dance were bears,
elephants and a kingly lion.

The escapades of the clowns,
Beth Land and Anne Marie Huff,
were a hit with the kids.

Holly Rogers, Nancy Hardy,
Melissa Martin, and Meda
Stamper were the spirited pranc-
ing ponies.

Margaret Lackey and Nancy
Hardy daringly walked the tight
rope.

The circus aerialists, Anne
Marie Huff and Stacey Ackerman
did gymnastics.

The can-can girls also gave an
energetic performance.

The Muppet band was a favorite
with the kids. The Muppet charac-
ters included in the dance were
Kermit, Miss Piggy Animal,
Gonzo, Ralph the Dog and Fozzie
Bear. Gina Greely, Paige Prater,
Sharon Wallace, and Johna Ward-
man were among the Muppet per-
formers.

The Ring Master, Andrea Mor-
ris, charmingly presided over the
show's performances.

nity to "kid around" with area chil-
dren.

New Atlanta Cinema Shows Classics

Despite the closing of the his-
torical Rhodes Theatre a few
months ago, Atlantans will soon
be able to enjoy their favorite old
movies again at The George Ellis
Cinema. Beginning in the first of
February The Ellis will present a
two month program of weekend
Classic Movie Matinees.

Featuring a broad cross section
of repertory cinema, the series in-
cludes Billy Wilder's Sunset Bou-
levard, Ruth Gordon in Harold
and Maude, Bette Davis in All
About Eve, Fellim's Amarcord, and
Kurosawa's Yojimbo. The series
kicks off on February 1st and 2nd
with one of the most romantic
films of all time, Godard's Breath-
less, starring Jean Seberg and
Jean Paul Belmondo, who make
sparks fly on the screen.

The Ellis management admits
that they are unsure how the pro-
gram will be received. "People
love to say that they want reper-
tory programming available to
them, yet nationwide, repertory

theatres like The Rhodes have
been closing due to inadequate
support," according to Glenn Sirkis,
co-owner of The Ellis.

Sirkis continued: "The availabil-
ity of many classic films on cable
t.v. or video cassette has put lots
of repertory theaters out of busi-
ness. We were close to John
Halliday, (owner of The Rhodes)
and we knew how difficult he
found his mission here in Atlanta.
We would never attempt to change
our primary programming to rep-
ertory cinema, but perhaps by
providing a matrnee schedule of
the finest films not commonly
available on t.v. or v.c.r.. we can
draw the necessary support to
keep bringing classic cinema to
Atlanta."

Sirkis cautions, however, "If the
February - March schedule is not
sucessful enough to cover its
costs, no further schedules will be
planned. We are responding to
many Atlantan s requests for clas-
sic repertory programming. We

sincerely hope that we will receive
a strong response to our effort to
bring this type of programming
back to Atlanta."

The main reason why The Ellis
is undertaking this risky business
is their booker, Eamonn Bowles.
A film buff from an early age,
Bowles is convinced that Atlanta
can support a part-time repertory
schedule, and he has made it his
pet project to select the broad
cross section of films he thinks will
bring people out to "see it on the
big screen".

A complete listing of the series
will be advertised in The Atlanta
Journal and Constitution on the
opening weekend of the series.
Also, program schedules may be
obtained at the George Ellis Cin-
ema boxoffice, 1099 Euclid Ave..
Inman Park. All shows are at 1 :00
p.m. All seats are $3.00. Call 688 -
FILM for boxoffice information.

tact Jill Kirn at 872-2306.

"'Night Mother" Ends
Dramatic Performance

by Heather Rogers

Marsha Norman's Pulitzer Prize
winning drama, "'night, Mother,"
was performed by the Alliance
Theater Company in the small, un-
derground Studio from January 15
to February 2.

Two acclaimed actresses, Eileen
Heckart as Thelma Cates and
Joyce Reehling as her daughter
Jessie, take the audience's emo-
tions on a "bus ride" no one will
soon forget.

Jessie is a middle-aged divor-
cee with a son who lives else-
where and is neither loving nor
loyal. Jessie is an epiliptic, and
she must live with her mother and
stay confined to her home.

One otherwise ordinary Satur-
day evening, Jessie tells her
mother that she has chosen to
"get off the bus early" and will kill
herself that night.

DramaTech Theatre of Georgia
Tech is proud to present Shake-
speare's "A Comedy of Errors" as

great farce is populated through-
out by identical twins, creating
havoc and much merriment for the
entire evening.

The curtain goes up at 8:00pm

The rest of the play is packed
with emotional tension as the
mother desparately attempts to
give meaning and hope to her
daughter.

Although Jessie's plan appears
unaffected by her mother's
reasoning, mother and daughter
spend the evening in deep, hon-
est communication as they have
never had before.

The time comes however, de-
spite her mother's pleas, when
Jessie enters her room for the last
time.

Ms. Heckert's performance of
the mother was superb, and she
was able to create a much more
real character than did Ms. Reehling.

The Studio's intimacy was ideal
for this play as the audience was
close enough to feel and virtually
participate in the powerful emotions.

Shepard Comedy and Indigo
to Perform at Emory

Girls

Theater Emory will present the
Atlanta premiere of Sam Shepard's
comedy "Curse of the Starving
Class" on Feb. 13-15, 19-23 and
26-Mar. 1. Performances will run
Wednesday through Saturday eve-
nings at 8 p.m. and Sundays at
3 p.m. in the Alumni Memorial
University Center Theater on the
Emory University campus. "Curse
of the Starving Class" was re-
cently revived in New York City;
this production marks the first time
it has been performed in Atlanta.

In conjunction with the play,
Theater Emory will also present
Rush Hour and Late Night Theater
featuring "Shepard's Shorts" plus
the Indigo Girls on Fridays (Feb.
14, 21 and 28) at 5:30 p.m. and
Saturdays (Feb. 15, 22 and March
1) at 11 p.m. "Shepard's Shorts"
will include "Killer's Head" and
other short pieces by Sam Shep-
ard; they will be followed be a per-
formance of the Indigo Girls.

"Curse of the Starving Class"
concerns a funny and bizarre fam-
ily whose fierce individualism and
deep roots in the land symbolize
the true American dream. When
outside forces seduce members
of the family and threaten to turn
their California avocado farm into
a suburban shopping mall or a
nightclub, it becomes that this
dream has been strangled by a
phony, money-hungry American
dream.

In "Curse of the Starving Class,"
playwright Sam Shepard gathers
the cliches and slogans of modern
America and delivers them to the
service of Great American arche-
types: the family, the farm and the
battle for individual survival in an
increasingly mass culture. The ac-
tions of the characters take on
mythic significance, acting out a
legacy that seems to be inherited,
often unwillingly, by each suc-
ceeding generation.

America's foremost contempo-
rary playwright, Sam Shepard has
been in-residence at the Magic
Theatre in San Francisco for
many years. In addition to writing
more than 40 plays and several
screenplays, Shepard is also a
successful film actor; his film
credits include leading roles in
"Days of Heaven," "Frances," "The
Right Stuff" and "Country." Shepard
won a Pulitzer Prize for his play
"Buried Child;" his new play "Lie
of the Mind" is currently playing to
sold-out houses in New York.

Rush Rehm makes his Atlanta
directorial debut with "Curse of the
Starving Class." Seen recently as
DeFlores in Theater Emory's "The
Changeling," Rehm acted and di-
rected at San Francisco's Magic
Theater while at Stanford Univer-
sity, where he received his Ph.D
in drama.

Rehm has worked extensively
in theater in Australia, Europe,

North Africa and the United States;
this past summer he was assistant
director to Liviu Ciulei's acclaimed
production of "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" at the Guthrie Theater in
Minneapolis. Rehm currently holds
a joint-appointment as assistant
professor in the departments of
theater studies and classics at
Emory University.

Professional actors John Purcell
and Clarinda head the cast of
"Curse of the Starving Class." An
Alliance Theater Company regu-
lar, Purcell has also appeared fre-
quently at Theater Emory. Clarinda
Ross has also appeared in sev-
eral productions at the Alabama
Shakespeare Festival and the Al-
liance Theater Company.

Other actors in the production
include Katie Pearson, Randy
Mattox, Hale Pettit, Jerry Maritato,
Andre Wiggins, Carl Lowe and
Christopher Salter. A lamb from a
near farm will play itself.

Reservations for "Curse of the
Starving Class" may be made by

42nd Street, "The Song and
Dance Fable of Broadway," played
at the Fox Theatre from January
21 through February 2. It was a
fabulous blend of acting, singing,
and dancing from the opening six
minutes of tap dancing to the clos-
ing reprise of "42nd Street." 42nd
Street tells the story of Peggy
Sawyer, played by Gail Benedict,
as she rises to stardom in Pretty
Lady. Stumbling blocks in her path
to fame include the prima donna
star Dorothy Brock played by
Dolores Gray, Dorothy's attractive
co-star, Billy Lawlor, played by
Kevin Daly, and a conservative
producer, Julian Marsh, played by
Barry Nelson, who is afraid to give
Peggy a chance. After Dorothy
falls on the opening night of Pretty

Lady and injures her foot, the
show closes, and the performers
prepare to go home. The kids in
the chorus line convince Julian to
replace Dorothy with Peggy who
is in her first Broadway show.
Julian agrees, and they go to
work. After two days of rehearsal,
the show opens, and Peggy be-
comes a star.

42nd Street is written in the
style of a 1930's musical with a
large chorus line of girls, elabo-
rate costumes, and much spunk
and energy. Songs include "We're
in the Money," "Lullaby of Broad-
way," "Shuffle off to Buffalo," and
"42nd Street." The show was well-
received by the Fox audience,
Every girl who has ever dreamed
of becoming a Broadway star
would love 42nd Street.

Shaw is up for 5 Grammy s

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
Music Director and Conductor
Robert Shaw is named in Five
Grammy Award nominations from
the National Academy of Record-
ing Arts and Sciences. At the same
time the Academy announced an
unprecedented 12 Grammy Award
nominations for the Atlanta Sym-
phony Orchestra.

In his comments on the Orches-
tra's twelve nominations, Mr. Shaw
highlighted the Atlanta Symphony's
commitment to excellence on
stage, as well as on record:

"Blue ribbons certainly are bet-
ter than no ribbons at all, but it
takes a lot of them to make a suit
of clothes.

This Orchestra plays 220 con-
certs per year, and only 9 record-
ing sessions. Given good acous-
tical conditions and a reasonable
schedule, it plays just as well for
a live audience as for no audi-
ence. Most of the time better.

For a number of years now the

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and
its Chorus have had the capacity
and the committment to turn out
first-rate musical clothes. It's nice
to hear that we may have some
ribbons to go with them."

Before joining the Atlanta Sym-
phony Orchestra in 1966, Robert
Shaw earned 11 nominations and
four Grammy Awards for his work
with the Robert Shaw Chorale.

Prior to this year's nominations,
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
was named in four Grammy nom-
inations.

The 1985-86 season has been
a banner year for Robert Shaw
and the Atlanta Symphony. In ad-
dition to an unprecedented num-
ber of Grammy Award nominations,
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
and Chorus will take their first in-
ternational trip this season. Robert
Shaw will conduct the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra and Chorus
in four performances in Paris in
June 1986.

In June 1985, Shaw signed an
agreement to remain as Music Di-
rector of the Atlanta Symphony
through the 1987-1988 season,
at which time he will assume the
position of Music Emeritus and
Conductor Laureate.

Symposium Celebrates Liberal Arts

by Elizabeth Mullis

Dr. Catherine R. Stimpson speaks at Founder's Day Convocation

Kim Speaks For Global Awareness

by Amy Gottsche

Wednesday, February 5, Dr.
Young Y. Kim addressed a small
group of students and professors
in McLean Auditorium. The sub-
ject of her speech was "Crossing
Cultural Boundaries." Ms. Kim,
visiting from Chicago, is co-
author of Communicating with
Strangers: An Approach to Inter-
cultural Communication (1984)
and is editor of International and
Intercultural Communication
Annual.

Dr. Kim's lecture dealt with the
differences between people based
on subculture groups, what these
differences mean, and what we
can do to promote understand-
ing of these cross cultural boun-
daries in order to further our own
maturity.

"Look around you— the whole
world is made of differences. If we
look at all the pebbles on the
beach, we will see at first, that
they are all alike, but on closer
examination we see that each
pebble is different, but these dif-
ferences have become more vis-
ible between subcultures," lectured
Dr. Kim.

"We are different for reasons be-
yond our control. Our differences
are based on the conditions in
which we are born into and the
methods of socialization causing
our maturity. Through this we de-
cide what is beautiful and what is
ugly; what is right and what is

wrong. Group membership is be-
yond our control, therefore, we
cannot take credit or be blamed
for who we are."

Dr. Kim defined maturity as the
extent to which one understands
and deals with the differences be-
tween people. She outlined three
methods of approaching cultural
differences so that these differ-
ences can be challenges and po-
tential sources for growing maturity

The first is to accept that peo-
ple are different and to appreciate
these differences. The world needs
people that are different so that it
will not be stagnant but will stim-
ulate creativity and challenge
everyone to grow.

The second approach is to rec-
ognize that although every person
is a unique individual, we all share
common needs and experiences
that make up a common knowl-
edge. Through these common hu-
man experiences we can locate
and relate to one another.

Finally, the third method of ap-
proaching cultural differences is to
think with as much creativity as
possible: how can we make these
differences complementary so we
can benefit and learn from one
another?

Dr. Kim stressed that before one
can begin to apply these methods
to crossing cultural boundaries,
one must like and appreciate him-
self or herself first. She empha-
sized the great need to be secure
enough ourselves so that we can
let others be themselves and be

open to relations and to under-
standing; "I accept you as you are,
please, I want you I want you to
accept me with all of my problems
and eccentricities, too."

Dr. Kim closed her 45 minute
lecture with a summary of all she
had said and reminded us all that
we are in this "journey of life" to-
gether, and, hence, we must learn
to deal with differences, appreci-
ate them, and grow from them. It
is ultimately up to each one of us
to work together to complement
the whole, leading to peace with
each other and with ourselves.

This year Agnes Scott celebrat-
ed its Founder's Day with a sym-
posium on liberal education and
its role in present— day and future
society.

The symposium began Febru-
ary 18 with a reception and dinner
for the Agnes Scott community
and continued with a schedule of
speakers through February 19.

Albert Badre introduced the ba-
sis of the Founder's Day Sym-
posium sponsored by The Hal
and Julia T. Smith Chair of Free
Enterprise.

After a welcome from President
Ruth Schmidt and an introduction
by Ellen Wood Hall. Dean of the
College, Dr. Harland Cleveland.
Dean of the Hubert Humphrey In-
stitute of Public Affairs at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota, gave the
keynote address.

The topic of his address was:
"Are We Educating for an Informa-
tion Society?" It attempted to focus
on the question of where technol-
ogy is taking society in terms of
liberal education.

A historically based analysis of
mankind. Dr. Cleveland's presen-
tation illustrated his view of basic
human needs and rights, and
through this line of analysis he
posed questions about the future
of liberty and liberal education.

His basic hypothesis was that
information and the newly gained
ready access to it through com-
puters and systems analysis has
changed the terrain of our society.
"More than one— half of the people
who work are information finders,"
Dr. Cleveland says.

He outlined possible implications:

1 ) Trends in employment will tend
toward information and service
work as production jobs will de-
crease.

2) Machines will take away mun-
dane, repetitive jobs, and the jobs
that remain will require more brain
work.

3) Computer literacy will in-
crease.

4) People will move around
more. "Don't plan your career.'" he
advised students.

5) There will be a growing de-
mand for continuing education,
and more educational time off will
be given to workers.

6) More people will be working
in international relations as de-
mands swell for cross — cultural
training.

Dr. Cleveland is concerned that
today's education is geared
towards assertaining patches of
knowledge. "It seems the more we
learn, the more we move away
from an understanding of the
whole," he asserted.

In response he calls for educa-
tion that is inter— disciplinary with
a firm liberal arts background.

"Computers can only count very
fast. ..everything else we have
to do," he says, "computers can't
make decisions or manage people."

But he did not reject an informa-
tion society as something that is
good. He stated that computers
do make it possible for an individ-
ual to have access to large quan-
tities of information in a short
period of time.

SB A Sponsors Business Speaker

by Karen Moore

As part of the celebration of
Black History Month, the Students
for Black Awareness sponsored
a convocation focusing on the
impact and importance of Blacks
in Business. The noted guest
speaker, Mr. Brady Keys, is one
of the top one hundred Black Busi-
nessmen in the United States.

He has achieved prominence in
the business community through
the ownership of restaurant fran-
chises, Burger King and Kentucky
Fried Chicken, in Detroit, Michi-
gan and South Georgia. He is
president of his company, the
Keys Group, Inc., and he is also
an active member within the com-

munity of his fellow minority en-
treprenuers.

Mr. Keys is not only a very suc-
cessful businessman, but he is a
very inspirational human being.
He is an example of a person who
has managed to learn and even-
tually prosper, from his mistakes
and his unfortunate setbacks in
life.

Whether the dream was the re-
alization of becoming a profes-
sional football player and eventu-
ally parlaying success in athletics
into a profitable business venture,
he always managed to set his
sights on his goals and achieve
that particular goal through the
methods of hard work and deter-
mination. Mr. Keys has the unique
characteristic of having the cour-
age to fail, changing that to his

advantage, by proceding to learn
from that failure and eventually
prospering from it.

As one listened to him speak,
it appeared that it could have been
very easy and quite understand-
able for him to abandon all of his
dreams, because both the dreams
of becoming a professional foot-
ball player and becoming a suc-
cessful businessman were marred
by adversities. However adversity
does not have to interfere with the
fulfillment of dreams only the in-
terruption of dreams. Therefore,
a heart condition and his small
physical stature as relative to other
players did not interfere with his
football career plans, these prob-
lems only made the achievement
of this goal more of a challenge.

To The Point

by Becky Moses

The creatures of Farmer Bob's
barnyard were in a brou ha ha.
Once again, the gossipy chickens
had gotten a nasty scandal started,
this time over an alleged "inter-
special relationship" between a
recently divorced duck and Sam
the pig.

"This kind of thing has got to
stop," said the Reverend Rooster.
"We're beginning to sound like hu-
mans, not animals." There were
general quacks, moos, oinks and
neighs of agreement and a par-
ticularly loud bleat from William
the Sheep, who had been rumored
to be a 'Ewe's ram' the month
before.

The hens who began the whole
scene were sorely offended. "We
can't just sit on these little snatches
we hear and see and wait for
them to hatch! It's important that
the barnyard be informed!" they
squawked.

Just then, a very small but never-
theless courageous little red hen
named Profilinia Stafford stepped
out from the crowd. "Excuse me,"
she began. No one heard her over
the general din, so she climbed
up onto a wheelbarrow, cupped
her wings to her beak and yelled,
"EXCUSE ME BUT I THINK I
MIGHT HAVE THE ANSWER!"

Everyone quieted. "And what
might that answer be?" asked the
rooster.

"It seems as though a news-
paper would do the trick. That way
if a rumour got started, we could
check out the facts and report it."
She quivered atop the rusty wheel-
barrow and waited for a response.

One by one they began to nod.
"Sounds great," said Sam the pig.
The horses loved it. The geese
loved it. Everyone loved it. Hence,
the birth of the Barnyard Bugle.

On the following morning, Pro-
filinia set about her work. "Who
will help me gather information?"
she asked.

"Not I," said the cat.

"Not I," said the cow.

"Not I," said the pigs and the
horses and the hens.

So Profilinia went throughout the
barnyard gathering news and ani-
mal interest stories. When she fin-
ished, she asked the critters. "Who
will help me write an article?"

"Not I," said the goat.

"Not I," said the sheep.

"Not I," said the divorced duck.
So Profilinia wrote the entire Bugle
by herself. When at last she fin-
ished, her feathers and her cre-
ativity exhausted, she asked, "Who
will help me put the articles on
Farmer Bob's IBM PC?"

"NOT I!" said the whole barn-
yard. So late at night she crept in
to his office and pecked away at
the keys until dawn. Then she put
the diskette into the modem and
sent it to the printer.

Two weeks later the first edition
of the Barnyard Bugle arrived on
the farm.

"It's about time!" said the dog.

"This is old news!" fussed the
hens.

"How could you print this edi-
torial, Profilinia?" chastised the
cow.

"When I came to you and asked
you to help me gather information,
you said you had to dig up bones,
dog. When I asked you to help me
write articles, hens, you had eggs
to hatch. When I asked you, cow,
to help me proof articles and put
them in the computer, you said
you had an overload of cud to
chew. I know that this paper could
be better, and I think we deserve
it. But one Profilinia Stafford can-
not do everything."

When the next Barnyard Bugle
came out, there were articles from
dog, cow and even an expose
from the divorced duck. Rooster
helped put the articles in the PC
and the hens made suggestions
for future issues. No other farm
had a newspaper like it. And
Farmer Bob's barnyard was very
proud indeed.

Symposium Attendance
Reinforces Radio Ads?

Dear editor,

Was it just two weeks ago that
this student body fought to get
commercials off the radio that por-
trayed Agnes Scott as a breeding
ground for the neurotic material —
girls single-mindedly occupied in
social pursuits?

We were angered because this
tainted picture of Agnes Scott had
replaced our primary belief of
Agnes Scott as a great liberal arts
institution whose students were
serious sbout learning.

Yet at the Founder's Day Sym-
posium actions spoke louder than
words. Maybe the most students
present at one time for any of the
events was under 20% of the stu-
dents population.

Now I have angry second
thoughts about what we were
fighting for just two weeks ago.
Are we really living up to our ideals
of learning if we cannot extend
out learning experience beyond
the classrooms which necessarily
segregates us into seperate learn-
ing units?

The symposium was our chance
as President Schmidt pointed out
in her letter "to experience collec-
tively what it means to be an aca-
demic community" or, in other
words, to experience liberal arts
learning in one of its finest forms.

We had the chance to gather to-
gether for the pleasure of learning
for its own sake.

For those of us who went, it was
not learning that ultimately pro-
duced an 'A," but it helped "build
an understanding of ourselves
and the larger world." If we want
to keep our ideal of Agnes Scott
alive, we can't just defend it. We
have to live out the meaning of a
liberal arts education.

Honor Court Overload—
A Campus Concern

Dear Agnes Scott,

I am writing to you today to bring
to your attention a matter that has
caused the Honor Court a good
deal of concern. I believe in facing
a problem head on and allowing
the. community at large to be a
part of the process. The problem
I am addressing is the increased
case load the Honor Court has
faced this year. In order to give
you a better grasp of just what it
is I am referring to, I have com-
piled the following information
from the Honor Court files. (see
diagram)

As can be seen from the above
information two possible things

are happening. On one hand, the
Court and the system may be ex-
periencing a bad cycle as occured
in 1975-1976. On the other hand
(sounds like an economics major,
right?) the system may be in a
decline that requires more than
time to correct.

Honor Court is not the only group
responsible for upholding the sys-
tem—you are. Its not our(HC's)
code-its everyone's code. So now
we are bringing the problem to
you. On Monday, March 3, the
Honor Court is having a Commu-
nity Caucus to discuss this infor-
mation and this problem. The list
of topics is still being compiled but
will include issues like alcohol and
its relation to the system, ^nd the
recent increase in case load.

Please come to this caucus and
let us know how you feel. Honor
Court is elected by you to repre-
sent you and the Honor System,
but we can't do it alone. We need
your help.

Sincerely yours,

Laura Smith

President of Honor Court

Of Dolls , Dreams, And Star-Hitched Wagons

by Becky Moses

When I was a skinny little girl
with black brown scabs on my
knees, I had a bean bag doll
named Jocelyn. It did not matter
to me that she was so old that she
only had beans in her bottom half
and consequentally collapsed all
the time. Even if she was worn
from years of play and an occa-
sional bout with the dog (what a
horror to find her chewed and
foamy with dog drool), her blue
eyes were always bright and her
smile never bent to a frown. And
whenever we played, Jocelyn was
always two things: always a mother
and always a school teacher.

Then one year, my family went
to Massachusets for vacation.
When we got back, I was terrified
to realize that I had left Jocelyn
there, at my cousin's house. We
called right away, and they prom-
ised to send her back, so for
months after that I waited. She
never came.

It's been eleven years since I
lost Jocelyn. But I still have the
dream that she embodied for me.
To be a school teacher. It's changed
form a little over the years, changed
motivations, gotten more specific,
been dimmer and brighter at times,
but it's always been there.

Its presence makes me wonder
how many of us are conscious of
our dreams? How many of us

have the tiniest inkling of what we
can be? How does that old saying
go? "Without a dream, the people
perish." The world— even at Agnes
Scott— is full of perished people.
Unconscious zombies walking,
sometimes even rushing through
life without any sense of their gifts,
potentials and dreams.

I don't think a career goal cap-
tures the fullness of a human
dream. Sometimes it's just the
means of finanancing the dream.
Sometimes it's just the frame for
the dream.

And I think that one reason peo-
ple aren't aware of their dreams
is that they don't know what a
dream looks like. I could be wrong,
but I don't think many dreams are

accompanied by choirs of angelic
voices, eerie lighting effects and
descending doves. Seems to me
like a dream is the thing about
yourself that you can never quite
get away from. Do you find your-
self talking to people about their
lives all the time? Well, maybe
you're a counselor. Do you find
yourself trying to explain things all
the time? Maybe you're a teacher.
Whatever it is, whether it appears
glamorous or mundane, vague or
specific, explore it! You will NEVER
be happy, never be anywhere
close to all that you could be if
you don't.

I saw a really moving comic the
other day, from a Chicago news-
paper. It pictured a stark, empty
classroom, with its door open. The

caption at the bottom of the draw-
ing read, "Lesson Number One."
The teacher's name plate said,
"Mrs. MacAuliffe," and on the black-
board behind her desk was writ-
ten, "REACH FOR THE STARS."
I hope I never forget it. Kristen
MacAuliffe died doing what most
of us will never even attempt-
fulfilling her dream.

When's the last time you crawled
up into your mind's attic on a rainy
day? When's the last time you
creaked open the dusty trunk of
dreams and tried one on just for
size? Maybe you should. You never
know what might fit.

PS. May you never get so old that
you only have beans in your bot-
tom half.

Computers will lift limitations.
"Jobs will not be of human con-
straints, but rather of human imag-
ination," he projected.

Concluding he said, "People who
do not educate themselves will be
the peasants of an information
society."

Beginning the next day's slate
of speakers was Dr. Michael H.
Mescon. Bernard B. and Eugenia
A. Ramsey, Chair of Private En-
terprise and Dean of the College
of Business Administration at
Georgia State University.

The topic for his speech was:
"The American Dream, Making It
A Functioning Reality."

In this speech Dr. Mescon called
for "immediate proactionary beha-
vior." "If you have options, it's bet-
ter to be a shaker than a shakee."
he asserted.

He gave advice as to how to be
successful in a free enterprise
system: "my advice? Show up...
on time, and dressed to play."

Critical of today's management
philosophy he said, "We have been
too concerned with not how does
it work, but how does it look?"

He continued , "We need [work-
ers] with desire, commitment, the
willingness to do what they know
must be done." Only through these

measures, he asserts, can "the
American Dream be realized."

For the traditional Founder's
Day convocation Dr. Catherine R.
Stimpson delivered an address
entitled: "Will the Liberal Arts Sur-
vive Through the 21st Century'?"

Dr. Stimpson is Professor of
English and Acting Dean of the
Graduate School at Rutgers Uni-
versity and the Chair of the Na-
tional Council for Research on
Women.

Futuristic as the title of her
speech implies, Dr. Stimpson pro-
jected conditions of the 21st cen-
tury through speculative fiction.
The fiction supported either a Uto-
pian or an apocalyptic view of the
future.

A Utopian view, she believes, is
one that supports and nurtures the
liberal arts. It proports a "dwell
with the angels" redemptive phi-
losophy. The apocalyptic alterna-
tive is a catestrophic prediction of
the future in which we "die with
the demons."

She addressed four different
authors: Ursula Laguin. Marge
Pearcy, Samuel Delaney and
Dennis Johnson.

She viewed the first three writers
as basically Utopian. The worlds
in which these authors write are

by no means perfect, but they do
expouse a value of liberty and lib-
eral education.

The last writer Dr. Stimpson
lables as the most apocalyptic of
the group. Johnson, in his book
Thiscadora has created a small
society that is the last remain-
ing sect of people after a global
atomic war.

In this society, Dr. Stimpson rea-
sons, "learning is the entry point
for pain. "The only remaining book
is one of the bombing of Nagasaki.

From these writers Dr. Stimpson
suggested that students of any
age should pay attention to facil-
ities and know technologies of
that time frame. Institutions must
be established to protect rights of
consciousness.

Armed with these protectants
we will be able to handle the
"macabre marriage of science
and social control" as we look
ahead into the 21st century.

The final speaker of the sympo-
sium was Dr. Walter T. Davis Jr.,
the Director of Advanced Pastoral
Studies and Professor of the So-
ciology of Religion at San Fran-
cisco Theological Seminary.

His topic to be addressed was:
"Third World Options for the Fu-
ture." He based his position on
the experience he had living and
working in Africa with the Presby-
terian Church.

He examined Third World devel-
opment in economic terms realiz-
ing that somehow their institutions
must go from underdeveloped to
developed.

Presently the United States
banks have made loans to Third
World countries, yet not economi-

Panel members participate in discussion of the ideas and ques-
tions raised by the Liberal Arts Symposium

cally stable, these countries can
pay off perhaps 10 — 15% of these
loans. On this continuum the
United States banks will suffer,
and these countries will incur tre-
mendous debts that on balance
have brought them little good.

Dr. Davis calls for a system that
is economically beneficial to both
parties, a system that considers
individual backgrounds and histo-
ries as a basis for its structure.

The concluding feature of the
symposium was a panel discus-
sion of the ideas and questions
raised over the two day period.
Participation in this panel were:

Dr. Barbara Carter, Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Spelman Col-
lege; Dr. Candy Kaspers, Presi-
dent of Kaspers and Associates;
Dr. C. Benton Kline, Adjunct Pro-
fessor of Theology, ColumbiaThe-
ological Seminary, and Director of
the Office of Theology and Culture
of Presbyterian Church; Mrs. Julia

available working with Friends of
Mattingly. Friends of Mattingly is
the campaign working for Senator
Mattingly's re — election. Areas of
concentration include finance,
press, organization, and com-
puter services. The campaign is
unable to provide a stipend, how-
ever Friends of Mattingly would be
willing to work with students to
provide academic credit for the in-
ternship. (Please note: February
26 was the deadline for spring
academic internships; therefore,
this credit would apply to a sum-

Burkinabe Visit ASC

(Decatur) Four representatives
from the University of Ouagadou-
gou, in Burkina Faso, Africa, vis-
ited the Agnes Scott campus from
Wednesday, February 12th until
Saturday, February 15th. Their
study trip included visits to the
University of Georgia and the Uni-
versity of Iowa, with which the
University of Ouagadougou has
established exchange programs.

Although Agnes Scott and the
University of Ouagadougou have
no formal relationship at this time,
President Schmidt and John Stud-
still, director of the Global Aware-
ness Program, had discussed the
possibility of establishing an ex-
change program with the univer-
sity during their visit to Burkina
Faso last October.

The Burkinabe visitors included
Ambroise Zagre, professor of so-
ciology and vice rector; Maemouna
Sanoko, library director; Moumouni
R. Ouiminga, professor of anat-
omy and director of the medical
school; and Akry Coulibaly, pro-
fessor of mathematics. The pur-
pose of their visit was to examine
education in the United States.
During their three-day visit to
Agnes Scott, a variety of events
were planned, including a lunch-
eon with French-speaking stu-
dents, a tour of the college, and
a Decatur Burkina Faso evening
celebration.

It is hoped that this visit will be
the first of many such interactions
between the college and the Afri-
can country.

CA Sponsors Speaker

by Katie Milligan

This year, for the second year
in a row, Christian Association and
the Office of the Chaplain have
been able to present a well —
known and influential speaker for
Focus on Faith through the Thomas
F. Staley Foundation. The founda-
tion is a private, non-profit or-
ganization, established to adminis-
ter funds to further the evangelical
witness of the Christian Church,
and with particular concern for
college students.

Each year we have our choice
of forty or fifty speakers from
around the country, all of whom
have some sort of Pastoral of The-
ological training, and are usually
educators in Seminaries or Uni-
versities.

This year we were privileged to
have Dr. William B. Oglesby,
Professor Emeritus of Pastoral

Counseling at Union Theological
Seminary in Virginia. His focus
while he was here was primarily
on family systems, including both
immediate and extended family
relationships.

Those of us who had the plea-
sure of hearing and talking with
Dr. Oglesby in one of his lectures
or informal discussions times were
immediately captured, not only by
his humor and animated person-
ality, but also by the relevance of
his words and their applications
to our lives.

Families and family systems are
very broad topics, ones that in-
clude each and every of us on the
Agnes Scott campus, and ones
that we can never learn enough
about' We certainly look forward
to the time when Dr. Oglesby is
able to return to our campus with
his message of Christian love and
nurture within our families.

Georgia Legislators Plan Aid For Poor

by Betsy Stone

"The adults buy inexpensive
household items. They purchase
plastic flowers to place on the
graves of relatives. The children
like to buy penny candy. But every
day I see people in my store who
don't have enough money to buy
even these small things. And it
saddens me."

— rural Georgia variety store-
owner

"Business slows every month
as people run out of food money."

— middle Georgia grocer
Georgia legislators in 1986 have

the opportunity to invest a modest
amount of funds in a plan with a
big economic payoff for local com-
munities and enormous benefit to
the state's poorest children.

This plan has the endorsement
of churches, the Association Coun-
ty Commissioners of Georgia, the
Medical Association of Georgia,
and organizations that assist the
poor.

The reason for this broad sup-
port is simple — with an expendi-
ture of $50 million Georgia can
generate about $348 million in
spending power — resulting in the
creation of over 5,000 private-sec-
tor jobs.

At the same time, the plan prom-
ises to greatly improve the quality

of life of the 166,000 children
whose parents provide for them
with Aid to Families with Depen-
dant Children.

The plan is designed to close
the purchasing power gap for
Georgia families and communi-
ties by "catching up" funding for
the AFDC program at 100 percent
of the stat standard of need.

At present low-income children
and their caretakers (who receive
AFDC when the children are de-
prived of one parent) are allowed
a maximum monthly payment of
61 percent of the "standard of
need" — the amount of cash the
state has determined a family re-
quires, in addition to food stamps
and Medicaid benefits, for sub-
stance.

Thus, a family of three (the aver-
age size of household receiving
AFDC in Georgia) receives a max-
imum of $223 in cash a month,
although the state calculates that
such a household needs $366.

Inflation has outpaced the in-
crease in AFDC grants since 1969.
The result has been a 20 percent
decline in the purchasing power
of the assistance.

This has hurt poor children in
Georgia. It has also hurt local
businesses. The poverty of poor
families "trickle up" to storekeepers
and landlords.

Even with their food stamps to
help with groceries, AFDC recipi-
ents in Georgia cannot afford to
pay for clothing, transportation,
housing and utilities on $223 per
month. Unfortunately, only about
one-fourth of AFDC families are
able to live in public housing, so
most must pay rent at market
rates.

The cost to the state of increas-
ing AFDC payments to 100 per-
cent of the standard of need in the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1986,
would be $50 million.

From there, it is a matter of sim-
ple arithmetic. For each dollar the
state contributes under this pro-
gram, the federal government
pays about two. By the end of the
fiscal year 1987, we would put an-
other $147 million directly into
Georgia communities. Economists
say the expenditure actually gen-
erates 2.37 times that amount in
buying power because of a "mul-
tiplier effect," so the real benefit
would be about $348 million, or
nearly seven times the state's
original investment.

Economists say the new buying
power would create over 5,000
private-sector jobs for Georgians
as merchants who sell goods and
services reap the benefits of the
new spending power. The net cost
to the state for all these benefits

would be even less than the ap-
propriated amount, because of
the federal match and the return
to the state treasury of sales and
income tax dollars.

"We talk a lot about develop-
ment plans that will have a posi-
tive impact on local economies
way down the road, but the AFDC
catch-up plan is shot straight into
the vein," says Herman Lodge, a
Burke County Commissioner.

The catch-up plan's advocates
also point out that it reinforces
Governor Joe Frank Harris's
Quality Basic Education initiative.
"A hungry child who spent the
night shivering in an unheated
house is ill-prepared for learning
no matter how good the teachers
and schools are," explains Frances
Pauley, whose work on behalf of
poor and minority children in
Georgia has spanned decades. "If
we want to improve the state's ed-
ucational standards, we have to
attack the problem from both
sides at once."

Indeed, the Governor has al-
ready recommended raising AFDC
payments to 70 percent of the stan-
dard of need, beginning April 1.

The catch-up plan will also af-
ford some relief to public hospitals
around the state, whose plight is
on the minds of many. Because
eligibility standards for the Medi-

caid program, which provides
medical care to the poor, are tied
to the AFDC payment levels, an
increase will allow more pregnant
women and children to qualify for
medical benefits even though they
do not receive AFDC payments.
According to Duncan Moore, the
Administrator at Albany's Phoebe
Putney Memorial Hospital, "When
we can get Medicaid to reimburse
for more of the patients who need
health care but cannot pay all of
the bill themselves, it improves
our solvency and our ability to stay
in operation to serve the whole
community."

Clearly, raising the level of AFDC
payments to a decent level has
many positive benefits. In fact, it
is hard to imagine any single ac-
tion the General Assembly could
take this year that would have
more widespread, positive impact
on the state's economy and its
children.

| Rep Rap . . .

by Ruth Feicht

With elections approaching you
are probably trying to decide who
you would like to represent you
and your interests next year. Now
the question as I see it is "What
makes a good leader?" Upon re-
flection I have come up with some
qualities which I think would en-
hance a person's leadership ability.

The first group of characteristics
is essentially skill oriented. The
person must be a responsible in-
dividual who can organize her
personal responsibilities and the
organization's responsibilities ef-
ficiently. She must also be able
to delegate tasks. By delegation
I mean give the responsibility for
the completion of a task to a per-
son who has the ability to com-
plete it. The good leader should
not delegate a task and then pro-
ceed to do the task; this style of
leadership benefits few.

The next group of characteris-
tics is primarily associated with in-
terpersonal skills. The good leader
should be open minded, mature and
empathic. She should be mature
enough to be able to see another
person's perspective and have, if
possible, empathy for the other
person or group of people. She
should also be assertive not ag-
gressive. Essentially she should
try to assert her rights and or her
organizations rights without in-
fringing upon another person's/
group's rights (see a psych major
for a more detailed explanation of
the difference between the two).

The final group of characteris-
tics concerns interpersonal sensi-
tivity. The good leader should lis-
ten to others. Listening is a difficult
skill to master. When listening to
another person one should not be
trying to think of a response to the
first point the other person makes,
but instead listen to the person
and when he/she is finished for-
mulate a response and give it. By

listening to another person's full
statement one is giving the speaker
the respect he/she deserves. The
good leader should also be able
to give her response in an unequal
power situation. A student leader
will sometimes find herself in a
very unequal power situation, and
she needs to be able to speak her
mind without offending the per-
son/people in power.

Now. I am not crazy or sleepy
enough to think that a person will
have all of these qualities, but I
believe a good leader should strive
to embody some or all of these
qualities. When she is under pres-
sure from her academic, extracur-
ricular, and or personal life, she
may not have anything on her
mind but survival. However if she
survives she should try again to
live up to her expectations of her-
self. When you read this you may
consider other qualities to be
more important, but I offer these
as some that may be indicative of
a good leader.

Through faith and determina-
tion anything is possible and Mr.
Keys is a product of that belief,
because not only was he able to
succeed as an athlete and as a
scholar in his younger years in
Austin, Texas and Los Angeles.
California, he was to later fulfill his
dream by becoming an All — Pro
football player with the Pittsburgh
Steelers.

After retirement from profes-
sional football, he managed to
parlay his success in athletics into
success in the business world, but
he admits that this period of tran-
sition from athlete to entrepreneur
was not necessarily a smooth
one.

Once again there were numer-
ous setbacks in the early stages
of his business career, because
the game rules that pertain to
football are quite different than the
game rules that pertain to the
business world. His educational

process on the workings of the
business and financial worlds was
a difficult one. In fact, in his very
first business venture he wound
up losing his capital investment,
because he blindly put all of his
faith and money in the hands of
an unreliable banker, but once
again his determination gave him
the courage to try again and this
time he and his business pros-
pered, because he learned from
his mistakes and managed to turn
adversity into profits and a new
career as a successful business-
man.

The overall message of Mr. Keys'
speech was the importance of
having faith in oneself and in God.
In other words, never allow any-
one to convince you that you can-
not do something. It is possible to
make one's dreams into realities,
but the key is to have faith in your
dreams and your ability to make
those dreams come true.

Administrators
Defend Radio Ads

by Louisa Parker

Agnes Scott's radio advertise-
ments have fueled the fire for the
most recent controversy on cam-
pus. What exactly is the history of
the administration's decision to
advertise?

Last December. Ruth Vedvick.
Director of Admissions, and Pres-
ident Schmidt attended a meeting
of the Women's College Coalition
Admissive Advisory Council for
Market Research. The Women's
College Coalition (WCC) commis-
sioned the Gene — Reilly research
group who in turn hired Hagar,
Sharp and Abramson, a market-
ing consulting firm in Washington.
D.C.

Ruth Vedvik commented, "The
Gene-Reilly group has an out-
standing reputation, and they con-
sidered multiple, very profes-
sional firms before they decided
on Hagar. Sharp and Abramson."

One phase of the WCC's re-
search utilized focus groups or
randomly sampled, college bound,
junior and senior high school girls
and their parents. Focus group
meetings, lasting two hours, were
held in different regions of the
country, including Atlanta.

In each city there were three sets
of focus groups: ten high school
senior girls, ten high school junior
girls, and ten parents. The partic-
ipants were not told who the client
was; therefore, their responses
were totally unprovoked.

In all cases, the first type of col-
lege that the participants ruled out
for either themselves or their chil-
dren was women's colleges.

"The twenty —four hours of tapes
of these sessions proved to me
that the public's opinion of women's
colleges was lower than low," ex-
plains Mrs. Vedvik. She elaborates.
"The focus group participants de-
scribed students who attended
women's colleges as frumpy,
dumpy, dressed in ankle length
skirts, always wearing brown, and
with mousey brown hair pulled
back tightly in a bun."

"Some thought that only smart
girls or girls who did not like boys

would go to a women's college,"
continues Mrs. Vedvik.

When the focus groups were
asked what a women's college
could do to change this image, the
unanimous answer was for the
college to advertise in the media.

The administration then had an
officers meeting with representa-
tives from the campus community
(i.e. Public Relations, R.T.C.'s
etc.) "It was just a meeting of
free — flowing ideas. We brain-
stormed. We made rules such as
no one could criticize anyone
else's idea, no one could agree
with an idea but point out its faults,
and no one could say 'We've al-
ready tried that,'" explained Mrs.
Vedvik.

At the time of this meeting, en-
rollment was down. The adminis-
tration decided that Agnes Scott
needed to do something to off-
set the bad image of women's
colleges.

Part of the plan to break the im-
age is to get the students in front
of the public. The Admissions
Office is formalizing a volunteer
program for students to increase
student visibility. Another part is
to utilize radio and television. Yet
another is to revamp the tradi-
tional mailing approach.

Mrs. Vedvik comments about
the Admissions Office's approach,
"We've been doing the same things
in a different way. We're on the
right track and have been doing
well. We have a sophisticated,
progressive masterplan. The key
to this plan is the timing of Agnes
Scott's interaction with students.
To interest them before they close
their minds to Agnes Scott is our
goal."

The second part of the plan, to
advertise in the media, was pur-
sued this December. A marketing
firm was asked how much money
would a radio advertisement cost
and how long would it take to do.
Agnes Scott told the company that
they wanted to appeal to the four-
teen to seventeen year old age
group, and the company did the
research. (Continued on page 7)

Spring Into Poetry

The Academy of American Poets
is proud to announce its annual
contest for a $100 prize to be of-
fered for the best poem or group
of poems submitted to the Eng-
lish/Creative Writing Department.
The winner will be announced in
Spring.

Founded in 1955 with ten schools
participating, this year's contests
are being held at over 130 col-
leges and universities across the
country. Many prominent Ameri-
can poets won their first recog-
nition with an Academy College
Poetry Prize: Sylvia Plath, Sherod
Santos, Louise Gluck. George
Starbuck. Tess Gallagher, Robert
Mezey. Heather McHugh. and
Larry Levis among them.

Every five years, the Academy
publishes an anthology of selected
prize-winning poems, edited by a
prominent American poet. The
last edition of the University and

College Prize Anthology. New
Voices: 1979-1983, was edited by
May Swenson. The Academy ex-
pects to compile its next anthol-
ogy for publication in 1989.

Now entering its 52nd year, the
Academy of American Poets is a
nonprofit organization devoted to
stimulating interest in the poetry
of the United States. In addition
to its College Prize Program, the
Academy sponsors Fellowships,
the Lamont Poetry Selection, the
Walt Whitman Award, and the
Harold Morton Landon Translation
award.

Entries must be submitted to
Steve Guthrie (box 947) by April
2, 1986. Poems must be typed
and must bear the poet's name
and address. The contest judge
will be Michael Harper, author of
Dear John, Dear Coltraine, His-
tory Is Your Own Heartbeat and
other anthologies.

For eleven days this summer
senior Pilar Duque will be weath-
ering the arid climate of Arizona,
but she won't be basking in the
warm daytime sun. Instead she
will be devoting her nights to re-
search at Kitt Peak Observatory
near Tucson.

Chosen for its ideal location-in
the middle of miles of relatively
flat land-Kitt Peak is regarded as
the primary astronomical observa-
tory in the world. Undergraduates
rarely get such an incredible op-
portunity.

Pilar, a math-physics major who
describes herself as "eager to
learn." was chosen by an MIT pro-
fessor to conduct research for him
at Kitt Peak, as he will be unable
to do so himself.

From June 12-23 Pilar will be
conducting independent research
photographing little known gal-
axies. By the use of a Charged
Coupling Device (CCD) informa-
tion can be gathered about the
stars and the rotations and shifts
that the galaxy makes.

Pilar looks at stars

Life at Kitt Peak is unique. "The
hours are strange because work
has to be done when it's dark,"
Pilar says, "and everyone stays
up all night and sleeps all day."

Researchers, a very elite selec-
tion from all over the world, will
live in dormatory type housing.

Meals are altered to fit into the
reversed schedules.

Pilar, who plans to go do grad-
uate work possibly in the field of
physics, is eager to make her trek
to Arizona. "It's going to take ad-
justment," she asserts, "It should
prove to be a very fun experience."

The Secret Is Out: UGA Hosts
Intellectuals For Conference

by Jacqueline Stromberg

Believe it or not the University
of Georgia will, if only for a brief
moment in time, be a bastion of
intellectual curiosity. Indeed, UGA
will play a host to the highest level
of cerebral activities known to the
Southeast. I know, I know, it
doesn't make sense. The virtue
"intelligence" spoken in the same
breath with the purest epitome of
an adult playground "UGA?" No,
don't call your optometrist. Just let
me explain.

On the weekend of February 28.
the Southeastern Undergraduate
Philosophy Conference will be
held at the University of Georgia.
What this means is that not only
will the Athens city limits be blessed

with thought waves on a Friday
night but also that two Agnes
Scott philosophers will awe stu-
dents from Emory, Vanderbilt and
other reputable institutions of
higher learning.

In front of a humble, hushed
crowd of open minds eager to be
touched by a glimpse of brilliance,
Kathy McKee (Philosophy/Clas-
sics) and Gretchen Pfiefer (Phil-
osophy/French) will read papers
on "St. Thomas Aquinas' View of
Happiness" and "Nietzsche's Uber-
man and Eternal Recurrence," re-
spectively.

Granted, others will be allowed
to speak, but generally the high-
light of the conference will be the
Agnes Scott papers and a party
Friday night.

Party? It may sound decadent

but before shouting protest of
rampant Epicureanism, note this:
Members of Phi Sigma Tau and
the Phi Sigma Tau Association will
be in attendance. I am not talking
slobbering bulldogs hunkering
down.

I'm talking Patti Spellman asking
the immortal question, "Should
Euthanasia be practiced at UGA?"
with Scott Posey then positing the
quality of life criterion: "Is an aver-
age IQ of 10 enough reason to put
the UGA football team out of its
misery?~and Melanie Sherk defin-
itively closing the discussion by
deciding to "Nuke 'em till they
glow!"

lantans do" crusade, contact Dr.

Learn About ASC's Sister City

Prepared by the African Ameri-
can Institute, Washington D.C.

Burkina Faso, formerly the Re-
public of Upper Volta, is a land-
locked nation in West Africa. The
country, which is about the size
of Colorado, is a vast plateau,
notched by valleys and formed by
three main rivers. Areas of savanna
and semi-desert are scattered
throughout the north, while the
south and southwest are covered
by wooded savanna. The capital
city, Ouagadougou, is located in
central Burkina.

Subsistence agriculture, the
backbone of the Burkinabe econ-
omy, contributes sixty-seven per-
cent to GNP and engages eighty-
seven percent of the population.

Sorghum, millet, cotton, sesame,
maize and peanuts are among the
major crops produced. To boost
agricultural production, the gov-
ernment has launched programs
to counter the serious problems
of desert encroachment, poor soil,
and unreliable rainfall. Burkina
Faso has a small industrial sec-
tor (18% of the GNP) which is in-
volved primarily in agricultural
processing.

Burkinabe currently number
about seven million, although em-
igration abroad has been increas-
ing due to drought and famine.
The country comprises three ma-
jor cultural areas: the Mossi of
the central zone, the Fulani of the
northern and northeastern zones,

and the Bambara of the western
and southwestern zones. Linguis-
tically, there are three major groups,
the Voltaic people, the Mande, and
the "Western Atlantics." French is
the official language, while More,
Bambara, and Poular (Fulani) are
the most widely spoken African
languages. More than 50 percent
of Burkinabe are animists. An ad-
ditional 35 percent are Islam, and
10 percent are Christian.

The nation attained mdepen-
dance in 1960, and changed its
name from Upper Volta to Burkina
Faso (meaning "country of an in-
corruptible people") in 1984. It is
now governed by the National
Council of the Revolution, led
by a president, Captain Thomas
Sankara.

A Tale Of Two Students: ASC's Mother-Daughter Duo

Continued from page 6

The script was written by a pro-
fessional freelance writer who did
research to try to "get into the
mindset" of a fourteen to seven-
teen year old. The writer came up
with twelve to fifteen scenarios
from which the participants of the
original officer's meeting chose
four.

The advertisements were re-
corded at the RKM sound studios,
and ASC students were used at
the suggestion of RKM employees.

Once copy was developed for
the commercials, a cross— section
of ASC prospectives was asked
to read and react to it. An Atlanta
area student with a 1400 SAT
score commented, "It's about time
you did some marketing. None of
my friends have even heard of
Agnes Scott." The prospectives' re-
sponse was unanimously positive.

A few students on campus read
the copy and reacted positively
also. Nevertheless, there was cer-
tainly a prevalent negative reac-
tion on campus after the commer-
cials were aired.

Mrs. Vedvik contends, "There
was a misunderstanding about
what the commercials were trying
to do within the campus commu-
nity. Students thought we were
trying to create an image instead
of illicit a response. Had we wanted
to create an image we would have
done something totally different.
We had planned a major convo-
cation to explain and to play the
ads before they aired, but the
space shuttle crashed and plans
were changed. The convocation
would have eliminated the mis-
understanding."

She continues, "I don't doubt that
there are people who just plain
don't like it. I believe 'nothing ven-
tured, nothing gained.' We need
to do something about our name
recognition."

Most colleges started promot-
ing themselves in the early sixties
and seventies; however, Agnes
Scott did not start marketing her-
self until the late seventies. "We
are now at the threshold of a mass
media era," Mrs. Vedvik insists,

"We have the chance to be one
of the first ones to use mass
media. Radio and marketing are
both gaining acceptance quickly.
We can benefit from being a fore-
runner of such a progressive
idea."

Mrs. Vedvik says that although
the administration anticipated a
reaction, they did not anticipate
the intensity of the reaction. She
adds that the administration re-
grets that they offended some
people.

"A lot of good has come from
the controversy: the student body
understands some of the difficul-
ties facing admissions now, and
students are more aware of the
impact they can make."

The radio advertisements had
two goals: to create a name rec-
ognition and to illicit a positive
emotional association with Agnes
Scott College from the listeners.
"They (the advertisements) were
not trying to sell a product," Mrs.
Vedvik adds, "They were trying to
leave the impression that Agnes
Scott is a place where people can
experience success, have fun,
meet friends, and know enthusi-
astic people."

What about the people who were
afraid that the commercials would
lower Agnes Scott's standards?
The admissions materials are
very serious about Agnes Scott.
Mrs. Vedvik asserts that, because
of these serious materials, non-
serious students will self— select
.themselves out. "If not," she
states," our admissions commit-
tees will select them out. We will
not lower our standards."

With three of the four advertise-
ments off the air, the administra-
tion is waiting for results of mar-
keting studies about the fourth
commercial, "success."

Mrs. Vedvik concludes, "I think
this is a terrific place; I just wish
more people knew that. I was de-
lighted to learn that so many stu-
dents were interested in admis-
sions especially because the best
spokespeople for Agnes Scott are
the students."

Last quarter on the Agnes Scott
campus some students thought
that they were seeing double;
when students called "Patricia
Roy" two heads would turn. Was
it something unusual in the dining
hall's cuisine or was it a new illness
affliciting overworked students?

Actually Patricia Roy and Patricia
Roy are a mother-daughter duo
who both attend Agnes Scott.
Mrs. Roy is taking a break from
classes this quarter; however,
Patricia and her mother saw each
other last quarter on campus.
Patricia comments, "It's fun see-
ing Mom on campus. We're great
friends. She's encouraging. She's
more like one of my peers than
my mother."

Mrs. Roy agrees, "I miss it. It
was a lot of fun." She laughs, "I
could check on Patricia better that
way."

Both Patricias are certain that
Mrs. Roy's attending ASC affected
Patricia's decision to go. "She vis-
ited, and we talked," explains Mrs.
Roy. "I saw the academic excel-

lence and what a nurturing school
Agnes Scott is. I saw her grow
and thought it would do the same
for me," continues Patricia.

Patricia and her mom have even
had some of the same teachers.
"My mother makes better grades
than I do," Patricia laughs. She
comments that because her mother
makes good grades she is ex-
pected to also. "Mom is friends
with some of my teachers," Patricia
rolls her eyes.

In a more serious tone, Patricia
says that her mother's good ex-
ample affects her goals: "I see
what she's achieved, and it's en-
couraging."

Mrs. Roy has been enrolled in
the Agnes Scott Return To College
program for three years. She joined
the RTC program for two reasons.

First of all, she had always
wanted to get her degree. Sec-
ond, she was working for an en-
gineering corporation where she
could not advance without a col-
lege degree.

How does Patricia feel about
her mother being a RTC? "I think
it's great because it has given her
an opportunity to relieve her col-

In the midst of academic com-
petition Agnes Scott College has

begining with the fields of teach-

Ruth Schimdt expresed deep
sympathy for the families of the
"Challenger Seven" and discused
the colleges decision to initiate
a scholarship to honor them.

She would like to see young

lege days and to take the classes
that she's always wanted to,"
Patricia answers.

Mrs. Roy, an English and cre-
ative writing major, graduates this
spring. Patricia, a philosophy ma-
jor, does not plan to follow in her
mother's career footsteps; she
plans to go on to law school after
graduating from ASC.

An enthusiastic advocate of
Agnes Scott, Mrs. Roy contends
that ASC helps individuals find

"Agnes Scott is a special school.
It has meant a lot to me," she
begins.

Mrs. Roy elaborates, "I think it's
a nurturing place. For people who
have been nurturers all their lives
instead of nurturees, it's a nice
change. The small classes make
it possible to develop a special re-
lationship with your professors."

Mrs. Roy concludes, "The nicest
thing about Patricia and I both at-
tending Agnes Scott is that we are
able to share about different pro-
fessors and courses. I think Agnes
Scott is absolutely wonderful and
I hope that my other daughters
come."

women prepare in the fields of
teaching or physical science. The
college has recognized the impor-
tance of preparing fine teachers
with a broad background in the
liberal arts and teaching and en-
couraging women scientists is
certainly of interest.

This scholarship will hopefully
bring the young woman at ASC
interested in trading or in scientific
work that much closer to her goal.

Three Cheers For One Acts

Rebekah Martin and Joel Fowler in "Please, No Flowers"

Present "Androcles,

by Kimberly Baker

The Theatre Department gave
a wonderful performance of one-
act plays on February 7 and 8 in
the Winter Theatre. The plays
were directed by students from
the Advanced Directing class.

The performance opened with
A. R. Gurney's 'The Golden Fleece"
directed by Anne M. Spry and as-
sistant director Laura Thruston.

The play centers on Betty played
by Jeanie Norton, and Bill, played
by Kurt Staven. The struggle be-
tween man and woman is revealed
in the relationship between Betty
and Bill and their friends, Jason
and Medea, possessors of the
golden fleece.

After Jason leaves Medea for a
younger woman, conflict arises as
Betty, representing womankind,
sides with Medea, and Bill, man-
kind, sides with Jason. As the con-
flict heightens, Betty and Bill begin
to argue and Bill throws Betty to
the floor.

The couple receives a phone
call from the police which resolves
the conflict. They discover that
Medea has killed her children and
herself. Betty can no longer relate
to Medea. Betty and Bill depart
from the theatre leaving the audi-
ence to ponder the complexities
of humanity.

The mood lightened with Robert
Nail's 'Antic Spring." Director Ans-
ley Scoville and assistant director
Laura Allen created a humorous
day in the country

Ginger, played by Ashley Moorer,
has arranged a picnic for a group
of friends to impress Robert,
Leighton Moore. They are joined
by high school athlete Sam, played
by Jeff Batton, his girlfriend, Gwen-
dolyn, played by Jill Jordan, Gin-
ger's little brother, Elbert, played
by Linton Phillips, and Blossom,
played by Jennifer Cooper.

Complications arise when they
discover the picnic lunch sits on
an ant hill, and it begins to rain.
Phillips and Cooper stole the

show with their brilliant, energetic
characters.

The performance ended with
the exploration of human nature
in "Please, No Flowers" by Joel
Ensana, directed by Rachel Hub-
bard and her assistant director,
Anne Leacock.

Beth Mullis and Rebekah Martin
were superb as Lena and Esther,
two Jewish women who have died.
Lena is an old woman who learned
much from life while Esther is a
young woman who took her own
life.

Throughout the play, the women
struggle with the desires of want-
ing to return to the world of the
living and of not wanting to think
of that life. Mullis and Martin did
a fabulous job in creating their
characters all the way down to
their Jewish accents.

The one acts were well-pre-
sented. The students involved,
especially the student directors,
are to be commended for this'
great accomplishment.

Blackfriars

by Ansley Scoville

The Blackfriars of Agnes Scott

ances will be Thursday and Friday,

Barre

Studio Dance is busy with re-
hearsals and many events this
quarter.

On February 4 the company
held winter quarter auditions.

Bryant describes the show as, "A
very ensemble show, fast-paced
with lots of lively action." The
multi-level set is full of saturated
pastel colors, while the costumes
are brightly colored. The costumes
are also modern, right down to the
red hightops worn by Androcles.
All of the props are toys such as
water pistols which create a play-
ful environment. Two cast mem-
bers play musical interludes on
kazoos. Three "musicians" act
completely without dialogue and
add to the scenery by transform-
ing themselves into ships, trees,
doctors and other characters. A
project of the student directing
class, currently supervised by
Professor Becky Prophet, the chil-

Freshman Susan Terry is the new
apprentice.

On February 6, Meli Kay, the
head of a dance company in the
Atlanta area, and Tom Pazik, the
director of the dance school for
the Atlanta Ballet, gave Studio
Dance a master class.

Studio Dance Theater has been
invited to participate in the Winter

Dance Coalition of Atlanta. The
festival is on Friday, February 28

Emory Dances Into Spring

The Emory Dance Company's
"Spring Performance *86" will be
performed at 8:15 pm on Friday
and Saturday. March 7-8 in Can-
non Chapel at Emory University.

The company will perform bal-
let, jazz and modern dances chor-
eographed by dance professionals
and students.

Guest artist Sara Hook, a for-
mer student of Emory Dance Com-
pany Director Jackie Hand, has
choreographed the modern-jazz
dance "Star Party." Hook is cur-
rently a scholarship trainee at the
Martha Graham School of Con-
temporary Dance in New York City.

Works by Hand and Emory
dance faculty member Milne Bail
will also be performed. They in-
clude Bail's "Circa 1925," a "who-

dunnit" mystery which blends
modern dance and jazz move-
ment and Hand's balletic "Pat-
terns and Images."

Gail Devereaux, a professional
Labanotation reconstructor, has
reconstructed Judith Allen's "That
Ail-American Game" for the Emory
Dance Company. Labanotation, a
system of movement analysis and
writing, was used in 1977 by the
University of Iowa's dance coordi-
nator to document and preserve
this dance. "That All-American
Game" celebrates the spirit of
baseball.

"Spring Performance l 86" will
also include three dances choreo-
graphed by Emory undergradu-
ates: "Hap" by Kelly Mays, a mod-
ern dance based on a poem by

Thomas Hardy, "It's Raining Men,"
a jazz dance by freshman Jennifer
Weiss and Natalie Brown's "Name-
less." a dance about differences
between people. Former Emory
student Douglas Green will stage
the fantasy "Hunchbacks," which
concerns the child within us.

Tickets will be available at the
Emory AMUC (Alumni Memorial
University Center) beginning Feb.
24. The performances will be re-
peated on Friday and Saturday,
April 4-5 at 8pm at the Dancer's
Collective, 1105 Euclid Ave. in Lit-
tle Five Points. Tickets are $4 for
the Cannon Chapel performances
and $6 for the Dancer's Collective
performances. For more informa-
tion, call 727-4095.

Gere's Film Is Powerless

by Elizabeth Mullis

Staring at gorgeous Richard
Gere for two hours in his sharp
•Italian suits is almost enough to
save Columbia Pictures' otherwise
drab Power. Almost, but not quite.

Practically a reincarnation of his
American Gigolo role. Power pre-
sents Gere as a amazingly moral
guy amongst a passle of moral
degenerates. He plays the image-
molder Peter St. John whose job
is to get politicians into office by
whatever means he finds neces-
sary. His loyalty is to no one but
the all-powerful buck.

But at the end of the movie he
is attacked by a terrible case of
morality that threatens to infect
the entire cast, and like all heroes
he triumphs over his own short-
comings and becomes the knight
in shining armor whose character
becomes an example to us all.
(Give me a break!)

Gere doesn't act; he just is. There
is a certain savior faire about him
that does make him appealing,
and Power probably represents

the best of his abilities (ie, strutting
around in front of the camera look-
ing like he just stepped from the
pages of Gentlemen's Quarterly).

Julie Christie plays St. John's
ex-wife Ellen. Like her ex-husband,
Ellen's motives are somewhat
questionable: she works in the
dog-eat-dog world of journalism.
She is a go-getter, a shaker, a
mover.

But miraculously after she sleeps
with St. John again she catches
his contagious morals, and in-
stead of printing a story that would
slur an old friend, she diverts her
attention to something more im-
portant-like the overthrow of a
Third World country.

The movie contained some other
familiar faces. Michael Learned,
formally of The Waltons. had a bit
part as the governor of Washing-
ton who enlisted the services of
St. John.

Gene Hackman played the part
of St. John's former mentor, the
man who "taught him everything
he knows." He was a rather comic

character who pathetically lived
off of St. John's left over scraps
of business.

Denzel Washington of A Sol-
dier's Story and the hit television
series St. Elsewhere, had the
power monger role of Washington
lobbyist Arnold Billings. Through
a series of rather bizarre turns of
fate Billings and St. John become
adversaries. But of course, since
St. John is the good guy in the
white hat, he ultimately wins the
battle for power. (Have you caught
onto the subtle title of the movie
yet?)

In general, the talk about poli-
tics was glib. St. John is "the man
who decides who goes into office
in this country." He lived and
worked in a space-age looking of-
fice complete with a data display
room that would make any NASA
technician drool, and. amazing
enough, St. John knew every wire
and control of his complex set-up.

If you like Richard Gere and can
enjoy him for his pure superficial
aesthetic value, then you might
like Power. But don't get your
hopes up.

Bacon Rides
Again In
"Quicksilver"

"Quicksilver." from Columbia
Pictures stars Kevin Bacon as
Jack Casey, a young options trader
who loses everything and enters
the gritty world of the urban bi-
cycle messenger.

Kevin Bacon ("Footloose."
"Diner") opts for a lifestyle in which
he is responsible only for himself.
The ultimate test of his courage
is to rebuild his life and allow him-
self to care for others.

The contemporary action-drama
co-stars Jami Gertz ("Square
Pegs") and Paul Rodriguez ("a.k.a.
Pablo") as fellow bicycle messen-
gers who dream of a better life.
The film was produced by Michael
Rachmil and Daniel Melnick. Tom
Donnelly makes his feature-film
directorial debut, working from his
original screenplay.

Producer Melnick. whose credits
include "All That Jazz" and "Altered
States." has a strong sense of the
origin of the film's story and char-
acter. "The actual bike messen-
gers have one thing in common:
problems with authority," says
Melnick. "They gravitate to this job
because they can be their own
bosses."

Kevin Bacon, who met a num-
ber of messengers himself, agrees.
"You can make your own schedule
and you can work hard and make
more money or work less and
make less money. You're really
your own boss."

"Most messengers," adds Ba-
con, "are on their way to some-
place else. Some of them are col-
lege kids and some are actors.
Some of them are serious cyclists
who want to race and they figure

this is this best kind of work they
can get because they're constant-
ly training, but others are doing it
because its what they do for a
living. Even though the guys may
be eclectic, there is a strong
sense of committment."

Extensive technical advice for
the film was provided by Olympic
cyclist Nelson Vails, who not only
helped train the actors, but also
gave them insight into the life of
a real bicycle messenger.

Bacon trained for four months,
riding a track bike (which has no
gears and no brakes). The serious
messengers claim that the track
(or "fix") bike affords them more
control and in effect becomes an
extension of their bodies.

"Its really a terrifically exciting
thing because you have so many
brushes with death," says Bacon.
"You're constantly getting cut off
by cars and you see a hole and
you just make a run for it. You have
this kind of relationship to the city
as a structure, that you don't have
on foot or in a car."

"Quicksilver," which reunites
Bacon and Melnick. who collabo-
rated on the blockbuster "Foot-
loose," also has an innovative
music score. The title song, "Quick-
silver Lightning," is performed by
Roger Daltrey, with the soundtrack
also featuring first-time pairings of
Ray Parker, Jr. ("Ghostbusters")
and Helen Terry, as well as "St.
Elmo's Fire's" John Parr with "White
Nights'" Marilyn Martin. The Atlan-
tic Records Soundtrack also high-
lights performances by Fiona,
Peter Frampton, Fish, Tony Banks
and Larry John McNally.

Broadway Musical
Dreamgirls Hits Atlanta

DREAMGIRLS, the dazzling
and innovative Broadway musical
that won six 1982 Tony Awards,

ment as part of its international
tour.

DREAMGIRLS stars Sharon
Brown, Deborah Burrell, Lawrence

Herbert L. Rawlings, Jr., Larry
Stewart, Weyman Thompson, and
Arnetia Walker. DREAMGIRLS

DREAMGIRLS is a personalized
history of the black music move-
ment of the 1960's and 70's when
the effort to crossover into the
white world of popular music was
achieved. It is the story of three
young girls from Chicago who
start out singing backup for a
rhythm and blues star and end up
as solid gold superstars - The
Dreams - who come face to face
with the consequences of success.

DREAMGIRLS is an original

work whose book and lyrics won
Tom Eyen a Tony Award. Mr. Eyen
is known for his plays "Why Hanna's
Skirt Won't Stay Down," "The Dirt-
iest Show in Town," "Women Be-
hind Bars," and his Emmy Award
winning television show "Mary
Hartman, Mary Hartman." Henry
Krieger, whose music for DREAM-
GIRLS was nominated for a Tony
Award, also wrote the Broadway
hit, "The Tap Dance Kid." Mr.
Krieger has the unique experi-
ence of having both his musicals
close on Broadway on the same
day - August 11, 1985. DREAM-
GIRLS ran 1522 performances.

Michael Bennett is the Pulitzer
Prize winning author/director/
choreographer/producer of the
longest running show in the his-

Line." He choreographed "Prom-
ises, Promises," "Coco," "Com-

also co-directed with Hal Prince)
and "Seesaw" (which he also
wrote and directed). He produced,
directed and choreographed "Ball-
room." He shares his seventh
Tony Award with Michael Peters
for DREAMGIRLS. Mr. Peters re-
ceived a Grammy, Billboard, Amer-
ican Video and MTV Awards for
his popular videos of "Beat It" and
"Thriller." Bob Avian has been an
integral part of every Michael Ben-
nett show for the past 20 years.
He has been associate choreog-
rapher and/or assistant director
on "Promises, Promises," "Coco,"
"Company," "Follies," "Seesaw,"
"Ballroom," and "A Chorus Line."
He co-produced "Ballroom," "A
Chorus Line," and DREAMGIRLS.

Sharon Brown plays Effie, the

difficult Dream who sings the show-
stopper "And I Am Telling You, I'm
Not Going." Deborah Burrell is
one of the original stars of DREAM-
GIRLS on Broadway - she created
the role of Michelle and most re-
cently appeared as Deena - and
now stars again as Deena, the
lead Dream who has it all, fame,
fortune and ultimately heartbreak.
Lawrence Clayton comes direct
from his role as C. C. White on
Broadway, LueCinda RamSeur
plays Michelle, the new girl. Her-
bert L. Rawlings Jr. stars as James
Thunder Early, the singer who has
"gotta have soul" in his music.
Larry Stewart plays the faithful
agent, Marty, a role he played on
Broadway, and Weyman Thomp-
son recreates his Broadway role
as Curtis, the man who brings the
success and pain to all. Arnetia
Walker reprises her Broadway
role of Lorrell, the Dream who
knows it "Ain't No Party" in her
quest for career and marriage.

Alliance Comedy Unveils
Partygoers' Fragile Egos

Craig Lucas' comedy, "Blue Win-
dow," opens March 5 at the Alli-
ance Theater in the Studio. An
Atlanta premiere, this sophisti-
cated, urbane comedy provides
humorous yet poetic insight into
life and human yearnings, 1980's
style. A long-running hit Off-Broad-
way in 1984, "Blue Window" is a
story cleverly told in three scenes:
one before, one during, and one
after a New York dinner party. The
hostess is a woman who has suf-
fered an emotional trauma she is
trying to work out through group
therapy.

Her guest list includes a frus-
trated songwriter and his girlfriend

(who knows more about music
and emotions than he), a friend
from group therapy, a sky-diving
instructor, a noted writer and the
writer's lesbian lover who is a fam-
ily therapist.

The pre-party prepartions, which
occur simultaneously in five sep-
arate apartments, reveal charac-
ters unsure of themselves and
how others perceive them; the
party itself captures the familiar
strain of cocktail conversation and
underscores the alienation and
anxiety of its participants; and the
return of the partygoers to their
respective apartments provides
insight into each fragile ego and

individual quest for vision. The
play's inventive use of fast-paced,
overlapping dialogue and action —
alternatingly comical, aching, and
telling — weaves the strands to-
gether into a connected, unex-
pected whole. "Blue Window"
gives a glimpse of the ennui of the
eighties, and a line from the play's
only song suggests its theme:
"From California to Mississippi,
everybody's looking for just the
same thing."

"Blue Window" runs from March
5 through March 23. Ticket prices
range from $5-$14. Call 892-2414
for tickets and more information.

Comedia Mimicks
"A Chorus Line"

Comedia is now presenting "A
Comedy Line," a parody of "A

lison Dukes, Marc Farley, John
Posey, Ric Reitz, Susan Russell,
and Robin Trapp share stories
about their childhood, family,
friends, fantasies, and short-lived
business and acting careers. "A

parodies of "Flashdance," "Duel-
ing Banjos," "Dance of the Sugar
Plum Fairies," "Oklahoma," The
Monkees, Madonna, Country Mu-
sic, and the closing number from
a "Chorus Line," "ONE." Cast mem-

and administration participate in
a variety of activities. Penny Wis-
trand and Marcia Mitchell play
volleyball, Terry Maddox, Gerry
Whittington, and Rick Scott enjoy
basketball, and practically the en-
tire Admissions staff sweats out
in aerobics — all of which are on-
campus activities.

Off-campus. Nancy Robinson
skiis (on snow and water), Alice
Grass plays tennis, and Joyce
Stavin briskly walks. These sports
are played on league, church, and
l Y' teams or are pursued individu-

ally for exercise or for recreation
along with others such as sky div-
ing, running, horse-back riding,
soccer, swimming, and golf.

Team sports are the most favo-
rite. Many commented that partic-
ipating on a team allows them to
enjoy their co-workers on some-
thing other than a professional
level. They like the interaction with
students and faculty in on-campus
activities and with people other
than those at Agnes Scott in off-
campus games.

Team sports are also favored for
their sense of spirit. Most of the
staff and administration love the

attention of congratulations on a
great hit, serve, pass, or spike.
Some prefer the anonymity of the
individual on a team. As Rob
Thies explains, "team sports hide
how bad I really am!"

Some participate in athletic ac-
tivities for the exercise they pro-
vide, and this is why Linda Flor-
ences aerobics hour is one of the
most popular classes on campus.
After sitting behind a desk much
of the day or after shifting around
from seat to seat in continuous
meetings, physically demanding
activities are viewed as a release
by these working people.

For this reason too mo§t of the
staff and administration prefer
activities that begin immediately
after working hours.

Quite a few make use of the
ASC facilities and all are eager for
the new student center and gym-
nasium complexes. One reason,
many feel, that the present facil-
ities are not frequented more by
their co-workers is that they are
obsolete and unsightly — facts
which inhibit the enjoyment of
physical activities.

The new gymnasium should al-
leviate these problems particular-
ly as it will provide more locker
room facilities for men.

Students Enjoy Wednesday Night Volleyball For Fun

by Pilar Duque

Twas seven o'clock on a Wednes-
day night and the "locals" were
gathering in. when all of a sudden
the volleyball net was put up. and
somebody shouted "play ball."

Of course, now I remember it
was time for Volleyball for fun!
(The students were actually show-
ing up for such an event.) I had

been to those before, where sev-
eral faculty and staff and about
three or four students attended.
They all had a great time, but ev-
erybody was always disappointed
because of the poor student turn-
out.

But this time it was different; Dr.
John Pilger was the only faculty/
staff member present while on the

other hand there were about four-
teen students. It was a shock for
those of us who usually go to see
more students than faculty, and it
was a fun night.

About half of those who attended
had been there before, like Hong,
Mahrukh. Mary Carter, Caroline,
and Renee But others were there
for the first time just because they

had heard it was fun.

Tracy and Claire and Gretchen
were there making us laugh and
having fun.

There were sets, bumps, spikes,
and serves of all kinds and to
please all, but the main ingredient
present in the whole night was re-
laxation and FUN!!!!

Cleland Kicks Off BSA Speaker Series

On Tuesday, March 25th, the
Board of Student Activities kicked
off its new speaker series with a
dinner hosting Georgia Secretary
of State Max Cleland. Cleland,
Vietnam veteran and author of
Strong in the Broken Places, was
accompanied by his assistant
Janet Jackson, an ASC graduate.

Cleland's after dinner speech
began with his casual and often
humorous interpretation of bits
of Georgia's history. He said of
Georgia's founding by Oglethorpe
in 1733, "We're gonna call this
state Georgia and our team's
gonna be the bulldogs!" He illus-
trated the new world idealism of
Georgia's founding fathers by list-
ing the four things they outlawed:
large land ownerships, slavery,
rum, and ...lawyers. Cleland re-
vealed bits of more recent Georgia
history, such as the account of the
rural North Georgia town, Fan-
non, which he alledges "considers
the U.S. Constitution a foreign
document." Because of political
corruption, the town had to have
elections three times, finally con-
cluding them in April of 1985 in
the presence of the FBI and GBI.

Secretary of State Cleland then
shifted his focus to Georgia's fu-
ture and the role of the Secretary
of State's office in that future.
"When you get out of ASC and
become that small business per-
son, you'll come through our office
(for licensing)." Georgia's future,
he reports, is on the rise. The
state "outstrips" the nation in
terms of its corporate formation
rate, and the standard of living is
close to of 20% above the national
average Four years ago, the ag-

gregate value of Georgia's securi-
ties was $12 billion. It is now $80
billion annually and is expected to
be $100 billion annually within the
next two years.

He explained that the Secretary
of State licenses 38 different trades
and professions, ranging from
doctors to CPA's to cosmetolo-
gists, and added that John Nesbit,
author of Megatrends lists Georgia
(particularly North Georgia) as one
of the top ten areas of projected
commercial growth in the United
States. Georgia has the second
largest influx of people, particu-
larly retired people, in the nation,
second to Florida.

Part of the reason Cleland be-
lieves Georgia to be so popular is
that it is the part of the sun belt
with water. "It's as important as oil
in a growth economy. We in the
Southeast have that commodity
...If you've got that entrepreneurial
spirit in you, go get it," Cleland
exhorts, "thousands of people are
being successful at it!"

At the conclusion of his speech,
Cleland opened the floor to ques-
tions from the students, which
focused primarily on the farm
crisis, the increasing sophistica-
tion of the federal government,
the nature of foreign investment
in Georgia, his political aspira-
tions, and the upcoming elections.

Cleland said he could "offer no
silver bullets" regarding the farm
crisis. He expressed a great con-
cern for what he called a "national
imbalance of trade." resulting
from a failure on the part of the
United States to effectively inter-
nationally market its excess of
food. He called the farmer "over-

sexed and under-loved, over-bor-
rowed and under-able to repay"
due to a 10% drop in land values,
decreasing crop prices and a
number of bad years. The farm
debt in Georgia alone is $1.3
billion.

In response to the query about
the federal government's shift in
focus from the domestic to the
foreign, Cleland asserts that what
was once "Reagan's radical no-
tion, that the Feds fight the Rus-
sians and do little else. ..is now

considered conventional wisdom."

In Reagan's latest budget, over
90 basic domestic programs were
cut, including 25% of the aid to
farmers, students and states, and
Cleland shared sincere doubts

Students Express Mews
At Honor Court Caucus

by Vee Kimbrell

On Monday, March 3 at 7:30
p.m., an Honor Court Caucus was
held in Gaines Chapel. All stu-
dents were encouraged to attend
and voice their opinions about
problems such as abusing take-
home tests, the alcohol policy,
and the absentee policy. The main
objective for holding this meeting
was to discuss why there has
been such a drastic increase in
Honor Court cases this year and
to ask the students what can be
done to bring the number back
down again.

After a brief introduction about
the caucus, Laura Smith intro-
duced the topic of take-home
tests. The floor was open to stu-
dent opinion and each Honor
Court member answered ques-
tions that were raised and com-
mented on ideas that were pre-
sented. The main question directed
towards the students was. "Do
you think take-home tests are

being abused?" Due to a recent
campus poll, the members of
Honor Court felt this was an im-
portant topic to discuss. Accord-
ing to the poll, the opinion among
students was that the tests are
not as effective as they have been
in the past. Too many students
abuse the priviledges they have
been given. Therefore, as a solu-
tion to this problem, a suggestion
was made to have a designated
room in Buttrick where all take-
home tests would be taken. How-
ever, by doing this some students
felt that certain "advantages" to
having take-home tests would be
lost. Students would not be able
to take the tests at their own
leisure however and whenever
they wanted. In summation, the
main opinion among the students
was that take-home tests should
not be abolished all together, but
left up to the professors discretion
as to whether or not they wanted
to give them.

The second topic brought up for
discussion was the alcohol policy.
This issue seemed to raise the

most questions among students.
Dean Hudson answered most of
these questions because they did
not directly involve the Honor
Court. One student asked, "If we
are allowed to drink in our own
homes, why can't we drink on
campus if our rooms are also
considered to be our homes?"
Dean Hudson explained many
times over that it is against the
state law to consume alcohol if
under the age of 20, and as Agnes
Scott students we are on our
honor to uphold this law. There
seemed to be no easy way around
this issue because the questions
and answers repeated themselves.
The main purpose for bringing up
the topic was to hear some of the
attitudes on campus. It was a time
for Honor Court to listen, not to
make a decided change in the
Honor Code, and students agreed
that each individual on campus
should be on their honorto uphold
these rules until a more definite
change can be made to improve
the system.

"Quip" Apology

Dear Campus Community
and Alumnae:

It has been brought to my at-
tention that the cartoon "Campus
Quips," (in the February 14 issue
of the Profile) of which I confess
to be the author, touched upon a
rather sensitive issue. I sincerely
apologize for any misconceptions
concerning that particular car-
toon, and indeed for any wrathful
readings of others "Quips." It is
certainly not my intention to use
the comic portrayal of student life
as a means to air personal biases,
nor will it ever be.

The cartoon of the February 14
issue in question makes light only
of the fact that at the time of print-
ing, no commencement speaker
had been chosen for the 1986
ceremony. Any other connotations
which might have, and indeed
obviously were, read into the
"Quip" were entirely coincidental.
Of course, if I had realized that
tension and perhaps harsh feel-
ings would be aroused by my
poor, but honest efforts at humor,
I would have created a fictitious
circumstance with no basis in real
Agnes Scott life.

Maybe that's not such a bad
idea. After all, isn't our existence
here somewhat near total fiction
anyway?

Margaret L. Luke

Editor's note: The Profile staff
also wishes to apologize for not
perceiving the possibility that the
cartoon might be considered of-
fensive, /fos not our policy to
provide a breeding ground for
racist ideas. Ms. Luke's intent
was clearly communicated to us,
and for that reason, we did not at-
tach any other interpretations to
the cartoon. Again, we apologize.

Hoofin' Student

Dear Editor,

Last week, late one afternoon I
came from downtown, arrived at
the MARTA Station and called
Agnes Scott Public Safety to get
an escort back to campus. The
student aid's reply (without con-
tacting an officer) was : "someone
will be right there." I waited there,
and half an hour later realized that
although it wasn't getting any
lighter, no one was comming to
get me.

I walked to campus, alone as I
was, and went straight to the Pub-
lic Safety office seeking an ex-
planation. The student worker
looked at me and said: "The patrol
car is in the shop."

The patrol car has been in the
shop for at least the past two
weeks, and I have seen the of-
ficers using a silver car and one
of the school's vans. That night
however there simply was no car.

How can the Chief of Police
leave his office for the day and
simply tell one officer "there is no
car tonight?" The radio operator
didn't even know.

I have learned that the silver
car belonged to the President,
and is now used by Admissions
on their recruiting trips. Public

Safety gets to use it when Ad-
missions doesn't need it! How can
any office or department on cam-
pus have priority over Public
Safety for the use of a vehicle? I
realize that that Public Safety al-
ready owns a vehicle; a vehicle
that spends more time in the shop
than out of it. Can it be that Chief
Korth doesn't have the authority
to request that a vehicle be made
available for Public Safety AT ALL
TIMES? How can our campus be
kept safe when "the patrol car is
in the shop" and there is no other
car we can use? How is it that the
radio operator just assumes that
an officer is free to do as she has
promised without checking with
the officer first? And why wasn't
she notified of the lack of a patrol
car for the evening?

Please understand that I am
not mad because I didn't get a
"ride" from the train station. It
could have been anybody. I won-
der how many people had to walk
back alone that night because of
the lack of a car. How can we have
so many vehicles on campus and
not have one available for Public
Safety? Where were the vans that
night? Couldn't Public Safety use
one of Physical Plant's trucks to
patrol in while the patrol car is "in
the shop?" I really think something
needs to be done.

Respectfully submitted,
Pilar Duque

Cookie Jar Dilemma

Dear Editor,

As a student here at Agnes
Scott, I feel it is time to voice an
opinion on the inefficiencies of
certain campus management.

Because of a response to the
letter written last quarter by a
public safety officer, the switch-
board operator's television was
removed. This removal is unfair to
the operators.

I feel that the situation was
dealt with like that of a child who
sneaks cookies out of the cookie
jar. Mommy removes the cookie
jar from Little Billy's sight so he
cannot have anymore. When
Daddy comes in for a cookie, he
cannot find where Mommy put the
cookie jar either.

The officers were watching tel-
evision in the switchboard office
while on duty, so some manage-
ment employee decided to remove
the television.; but when the
switchboard operators came in
they did not have a television to
watch either. So Daddy feels the
CRUNCH of Little Billy's punish-
ment.

But wait, there is more. Little
Billy can run over to the neighbor's
house and get a cookie, but poor
Daddy cannot leave the house
and get a cookie, so he has to do
without. Now, you tell me, why is
Daddy feeling the punishment
when Little Billy was the one that
was bad? Get the picture? The
switchboard operators don't; they
have no TV!

The public safety officers are
able to go to the Hub where there
just happens to be a nice large
screen television, but the oper-
ators have to spend long hours

To The Point

by Becky Moses

Two weeks ago, several mem-
bers of the Profile staff ventured
into Bulldog territory for the an-
nual Georgia College Press In-
stitute. Admittedly, we expected a
bland luncheon and a series of
boring seminars, but I am ecstatic
to report that the weekend was a
monumental one for the Profile
staff.

The most thrilling thing, of
course, was that we were awarded
the first place Improvement Award!
I cannot tell you what it means to
have our efforts and progress rec-
ognized and applauded, particu-
larly in the presence of such papers
as The Technique. The Red and
Black, and The Signal. The other
invaluable thing about the GCPA
Institute was that we learned an
immense amount that we would
otherwise not have had access
to, both from the training ses-
sions, and from interaction with
other college newspaper staffs. It
was the single most motivating,
rewarding event of our year.

Which is why I am so frustrated.
At the beginning of this quarter,
we asked Rep Council for per-
mission and funds to attend con-
ferences of this nature. Not only
were we hotly denied, we were
virtually accused of misappropri-
ating the funds which paid for the
entries resulting in our award!
(The entire entrance fee was
$26.00 and MY MOTHER paid for
it!) The only reason we were able
to attend the conference in Athens
is that we had funds left over from
first quarter, due to Melanie Sherk's
record-breaking subscription sales

sitting in this one room, staring at
four walls.

My next question is: Can Mom-
my go to the neighbor's house
and hide their cookie jar? Is this
"management employee" now go-
ing to remove the television from
the Hub? In my personal opinion,
you do not treat an adult problem
with a child's punishment.

Sincerely
Julie Hartline

Editor-in-chief, Becky Moses
and Associate editor Beth
Mullis accept Improvement
Award.

and Crissi Calhoun's advertising
wiles.

While we were in Athens, we
discovered something that I sus-
pected would be true. Agnes Scott
is one of the few remaining col-
leges in the state of Georgia which
does not pay either the Student
Government officials or the stu-
dent publications staffs. Now, be-
fore you bridle and squeal, let me
say this. My term as Editor is
finished; I stand nothing to gain
should the current system change.
But it is my duty to you, who
deserve the best newspaper pos-
sible, and to the staffs which are
to come, to address this issue.

The newspapers which had to
hire cranes to haul away their
awards at the conference were
the newspapers who paid their
editors well - anywhere from $30
per issue to $500 for the quarter
for editorial positions. Why? Be-
cause their levels of morale and
accountability are sky-scraping.

When you consider a) the
amount of time it takes to produce
a newspaper - up to 15 hours a
week, and b) that the community
receives a regular, tangible prod-
uct which is reliant on the training,
labor and skill of the staff, it is as
medieval as bloodletting not to
provide some balanced system of
incentive and reward. We are one

of the few colleges which has not
yet mad the giant leap from the
Dark Ages into the 1980's (or even
the 1950's for that matter).

The bottom line is this. This
year's Profile staff has proven it-
self. The quality of the articles and
of the technical aspects of the
paper have drastically improved,
a fact acknowledged by the
Georgia Press Association. Even
with the purchase of the neces-
sary software, we reduced our
winter quarter budget by close
to $2,000 while simultaneously
adopting an advanced system of
production. We have done so be-
cause we think we all deserve a
fine, reputable paper.

The Profile staff is willing to be
creative and cooperative in find-
ing ways to reward its people,
even if it means extra work on our
part. But it's high time Agnes
Scott stop muzzling the oxen that
tread out the grain, and give a
little credit and CASH (at least a
conference or two) where they
are due.

Thank you for letting me serve
you as Editor this past year. I feel
good about what we accomplished,
and I look forward to the progress
of the newspaper under Eliza-
beth's direction. Have a marvel-
ous Spring Break!

Rep Rap

by Ruth Feicht

This is the final communication
from the 1985-86 Rep Council.
Therefore, I would like to express
my gratitude to Rep for the hard
work and to catalogue the ac-
complishment of Rep Council for
the year.

1) Internally we had a written
agenda each week, and the meet-
ings lasted approximately one
hour. In general we had a more
task oriented approach to Rep.

2) We changed the election
dates to provide a model for SGA
elections on the semester system.
A benefit of which is that the
newly elected officers have a
chance to plan for the coming
year over Spring Break.

3) We revised the bookkeeping
system and are looking into a
computer program for the books.

4) To provide an alternative to
having no drinking lounges on
campus we increased the drinking
hours in the Hub to: 5:00pm to
2:00am on weekdays and from
5:00pm Friday to 2:00am Sunday
on weekends (basically 24 hours

on the weekend).

5) Due to Catalyst's hard work
the library hours have been
changed to: opening at 1:00pm
on Sundays and open the Friday
night prior to the weekend before
exams until 11 :30.

6) Catalyst also got additional
bulletin boards up in the snack
bar and the mail room.

7) Food Committee provided
the vital link between Epicure and
the students. Due to their hard
work we have cheese at the salad
bar and dining hall guidelines.

8) Petitions board is up and
operating to provide a smooth
and consistent way of doing pe-
titions.

9) Winter project (the Beach
party on March 3rd) provided a
nice break before the final crunch
that always precedes exams.

10) SGA funded Harolene Davis'
presentation of a paper to the
American Anthropological Asso-
ciation and Pilar Duque's trip to
Kitt Peak, Arizona to do astron-
omy research in conjunction with
a professor from MIT. Rep is set-
ting up guidelines for funding stu-
dents' research and presentation
of that research at conferences,
but nothing definite has been
decided.

11) Rep encouraged organiza-

tions to co-sponsor events and to
have all areas of the college rep-
resented at events.

12) I will try to update the SGA
constitution and By-laws over
Spring Break.

13) On April 6th Rep is holding
a mandatory meeting for all old
and new Executive Boards of all
SGA funded organizations. The
goals are to: a) increase com-
munication between the old and
the new Boards b) let everyone
know what the responsibilities of
each organization and each of-
ficer in that organization are and
c) make plans for the upcoming
year.

14) Rep tried to provide an
effective link between the admin-
istration and the students.

These 14 "points" are most of
the things Rep has accomplished
and we hope we have provided a
strong base for the incoming Rep
Council to build upon.

On a personal note thank you,
the students, faculty, staff, and
administration, for the kindness
and support you have given me.
Although it has not always been
an easy job, I have learned more
from being SGA President than
from any one class or extracur-
ricular activity. Good Luck next
year!!

great enthusiasm about the Re-
gional Presidential Preference

Women In Religion

by Claudette Cohen

by Claudette Cohen

Did you know that in the Bible
Eve is named Adam's superior
helper just as God is named Is-
rael's superior helper? If you don't
believe it, just check the trans-
lation of the word 'ezer (helper)
in Genesis 2:18 and Psalms 70:5.
Eve is also the first rabbi, theo-
logian, and preacher (see Gen.
2-3).

Wednesday of February 26, Dr.
Phyllis Trible enlightened us with
these and many other fascinating
facts about women in the Bible.
Dr. Trible is a Baldwin Professor
of Sacred Literature at Union The-
ological Seminary and the author
of the books God and the Rhet-
oric of Sexuality and Texts of
Terror.

Dr. Trible pointed out that be-
neath the surface of every book
in the Bible runs a little-known
torrent of activity by women as
diplomats, builders, teachers, and
leaders against oppression. As
an excellent example of this ac-
tivity, Dr. Trible talked about Exo-
dus 1 and 2, where two Hebrew
women (Shiphrah and Puah) and
the Pharoah's daughter unite to
defy Pharoah, thwart persecution,
and save the life of the baby who

grows up to be the greatest leader
of the Hebrew nation.

Dr. Trible's discussion sheds
light on this feminist sub-culture,
so that the tale that should have
been told thousands of years ago
is now finally being told and gain-
ing acceptance.

But there is another side to the
tale, Dr. Trible reminds us, and
that is the constant manifestation
of the sin of patriarchy, or the
Biblical stories of the subordina-
tion, suppression, and abuse of
women. As an example of this
type of story, Dr. Trible cited the
brutal rape and butchery of the
concubine in Judges 19.

After reading Judges 19 and
stories like it, we could despair
and give up, leaving no hope for
progress, or, as Dr. Trible suggests,
we could sympathetically retell
those stories "in memorium to
those women who were abused."
And for comfort, we can look to
the woman in the Song of Songs,
who "boasts triumphantly that not
even chaos can destroy her love."

Thanks to Dr. Trible and the
other "chosen few," women are
finally taking their places of honor
and importance in the Bible, in
theology, and in the history of
humankind.

ion was that too many students
are taking advantage of this policy
and it is time that matters are
looked into closer. The students
enjoy the way the system has
worked so far, but it is not fair the
way some people say they are
sick when they are not. The re-
sponse from H.C. was that the
Committee realizes this problem
and has already begun to crack
down on abusers.

The members of Honor Court
were very organized and precise
in handling this caucus. This was
the first of its kind and mainly a
time for students to find out about
the problems that exsist on cam-
pus. The unfortunate part about
this meeting was that barely one-
fourth of the campus was present
to express their ideas and opin-
ions. Honor Court members no
longer want to keep students in
the dark about these problems,
but to help them by listening and
responding to their ideas. After
all, they are representatives of
every student on campus and not
"judges." Even though no changes
are to be made concerning these
problems as of yet, the opinions
of students were heard and the
ideas that were presented will be
taken into careful consideration.

Terrorist Talk

by Patricia Maguire

On Tuesday, March 4, Mortar
Board sponsored the first "Don't
Quote Me" seminar, an informal
discussion which focussed on the
topic of Technology and Terrorism.
The discussion was scheduled
from 12:30 to 1 :30 but participants
were encouraged to come and go
throughout the hour. With a few
opening remarks delivered by Dr.
Leon Venable, Assistant Profes-
sor of Chemistry, the discussion
was off to a good start.

Based on the number of par-
ticipants and the lively discussion,
the first "Don't Quote Me" seminar
was well received. Mortar Board
hopes that these seminars will be
held on a regular basis next quar-
ter and address a number of
topics, topics designed to bring
closer together the scientist and
the non-scientist. The seminar
was successful, informative, and
fun — and you can quote me!

On Thursday February 27, Ex-
ecutive Round Table invited Mr.
Jim White of the Georgia Power
Company to speak to the students
about Georgia Power's new nu-
clear plant, Plant Vogtle. He first
showed a brief film about Plant
Vogtle, then he opened up the
floor for questions from the stu-
dents and faculty.

We learned that America con-
sumed over 20 percent more elec-
tricity in 1982 than in 1973. Yet at
the same time, electric utilities
were able to reduce the amount
of oil and natural gas used to
generate electricity. .cutting back
on their oil consumption by a dra-
matic 55 percent.

According to the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, there are two
electrical energy sources that are
the " only economic alternatives
for large scale application in the
remainder of this century." These
two sources are coal and nuclear
power, which already produce
about two thirds of all the elec-
tricity consumed in the United
States.

A report issued by the U.S.
Department of Energy in 1982
indicated that "the economy is
very likley to turn increasingly to
electricity for its energy require-
ments", a trend likely to continue
for some time. The report also
suggests that the U.S. could face
an electricity-supply shortage in
the 1990's. This is because elec-
tric utilities have had to delay or
cancel construction on many new
nuclear and coal power plants
that will be needed in the next
decade. Yet even a lower than
expected electricity demand
growth rate of 2 percent per year
would still result in a 50 percent
increase in the need for electricity
over the next twenty years. To
supply this need, the equivalent
of about 300 major power plants
would have to be brought into
operation.

In 1985, America's nuclear power
plants produced an estimated 880
billion kilowatt-hours — a new an-

nual record— about 16 percent of
the nation's total electricity. That
amount of power would require
the burning of 653 million barrels
of oil.

At the end of last year, there
were 98 nuclear power plants in
the United States and when the
remaining nuclear power plants
being built or nearing completion
are operating, a total of 130 re-
actors will be spread across the
U.S.

Meanwhile, the international
use of nuclear generated elec-
tricity continues to grow. Between
1979 and 1983, for example, nu-
clear energy provided close to
one third of all the new energy
produced in the non-communist
world. These are some of the
facts about nuclear energy:

Nuclear energy is producing
electricity in Georgia right now, at
Plant Hatch, for less than one-
third the cost of coal. Last year,
nuclear energy saved Georgians
nearly 100 million dollars, com-
pared with the cost of coal.

We know we can expect sav-
ings like that once Plant Vogtle is
in operation. No matter what hap-
pens to the price of using coal.
No matter if dry weather prevents
the use of our hydro power plants.
No matter what OPEC does.

In addition to fuel cost savings,
that all-important mix of energy
sources is the second reason we
continued to build Vogtle. More
than 80 percent of our power
comes from coal. Each year, we
haul more than 25 million tons of
it into Georgia. What if the price
of coal goes up? What if the cost
of shipping coal goes up?

The fact is, if our need for elec-
tricity in Georgia grows at only
three percent per year, then in
25 years we'll need 100 percent
more generating capacity than we
have now.

So let me point out Mr. White's
three primary reasons why we
need Plant Vogtle:

First, new uses and applica-
tions for electricity are making it
the power of choice over other
forms of energy.

Second, our population is grow-
ing rapidly and our sun belt econ-
omy is booming. More people plus
more jobs equals more electricity.

Third, we need Plant Vogtle be-
cause our older plants won't last
forever. We need modern, reliable
generating facilities and a bal-
anced mix of fuel sources.

Mr. White's presentation was ex-
cellent. All those who attended
learned a lot about a very con-
troversial issue. We hope that all
those who missed out on this
Executive Round Table meeting
will be able to make it to the next
one.

Becky Moses: 1st runner up Dogwood Festival

eant. As a member of the Dog-
wood Court, she will receive a

merous other prizes.

The selection process began
with thirty applicants from which
ten were chosen as semi-finalists,
including Anne Sophie, Agnes

major, has been chosen to par-
ticipate in the Atlanta Dogwood

looking forward to
the festival itself.'*

then chosen as one of five finalists
who appeared at the Limelight
on February 5th and presented
speeches in which each offered
her views on the significance of
the Dogwood Festival. Becky ex-
plained that, while the entertain-
ment and service provided by the
festival certainly are enough to
make it worthwhile, it has a
deeper significance as well. As
Atlanta's springtime festival, it rep-
resents resurrection, the resurrec-

tion of nature and the ressurection
of a city which has risen above its
problems to become the hub of
the Southeast. She ended her
moving speech with an invitation
to all Atlantans to "Comeforth"
and enjoy their special city as it
celebrates rebirth.

The annual Dogwood Festival,
which will take place in April, is
sponsored by the Atlanta Women's
Chamber of Commerce.
The festival is the Chamber of
Commerce's principle fund-rais-
ing event and includes, among
other things, a fashion show, the
popular Taste of Atlanta, a sailboat
regatta, a performance in the park
by the Atlanta Ballet, and a talent
show at Georgia Tech.

Becky, following in the footsteps
of senior Andrea Morris who was
second runner-up last year, will
represent the festival at the vari-
ous events, answering questions
and serving as hostess to the
press. Becky comments about her
involvement in the festival, "Agnes
Scott has had a strong tradition of
Dogwood Royalty. So far it's been
a lot of fun, and I'm looking for-
ward to the festival itself."

Farmers Struggle . . . Reagan Offers No Help

by Adlen S. Walker

Daniel Webster once said "When
tillage begins, other arts follow.
The farmers therefore are the
founders of human civilization."
When the depression struck and
everyone turned to the new pres-
ident and the New Deal, Roose-
velt contributed much planning
which aided the farming industry.
The creative and experimental
new president saw that farming
was the backbone of America.

President Reagan however, has
proved insensitive to the needs
of small farmers. Federal aid to
farmers has been continuously
cut, and now Reagan has launched
an attack on The Cooperative Ex-
tension Service. This organization
has been helping farmers and their
communities since I9I4. Reagan's
newly proposed budget for 1987 in-
cludes a 60 percent cut of the Ser-
vice's annual budget. In Georgia

alone, hundred's of farmers will
once again be left out in the cold
with unpaid loans and no one to
turn to.

Sarah Garland, a Junior Philos-
ophy and Theatre major here at
Agnes Scott, grew up on a farm
in Gray, Tennessee. Her father's

"Farming is like
the theatre; you
have to really love it
to do it . . . there
are no guarantees.

500 acre farm has been handed
down for generations. Sarah spoke
of her family as being "fortunate"
in the farming business. She em-
phasized the risks involved in
farming and explained about the
incorporation of computers into
her father's dairy farm. Sarah's
father has been president of the
Soil Conservation Service and the

Tennessee Wholestein's Associa-
tion. When asked about the harsh
plight of small farmers, Sarah
spoke of several things. She said
many farmers quit because of
lack of funds. But she also brought
to light another important consid-
eration. She said, "Farming is
like the Theatre; you have to really
love it to do it. ..there are no
guarantees."

Karla Vaugn. a Senior English
major, lives in Bogart, Georgia.
Karla, like Sarah, comes from a
family who for generations has
depended on the land for its live-
lihood. Karla's father is a crop
duster and is thus actively af-
fected by anything that affects the
farmers. Karla explains that what
affects their situation the most is
the fact that farmers are being
paid not to plant. She said, "We
don't expect anyone to plant this
year... Dad has not had a good
season since 1981..." Karla lives
surrounded by small farmers who
have felt and will surely feel

Reagan's farm aid cuts. Of their
present situation Karla said, "I don't
know of a single farmer who is not
in debt . .

"We don't expect
anyone to plant this
year . . . Dad has
not had a good
season since
1981 ... I don't
know of a single
farmer who is not
in debt . .

Beth Mullis, a Junior History
major, like Sarah and Karla, comes
from a long family history of
farmers. The Mullis farm is in
Blythewood, South Carolina. Beth's
father not only takes care of his

300 acre farm, but also manages
an insurance company in Colum-
bia, S.C. Mr. Mullis is actively
involved in several organizations
which aid farmers, and he is also
president of the communities
Democratic Precinct. Beth ex-
plained that her father has always
been concerned with helping the
farmer. Beth spoke of the in-
creasingly tense situation among
farmers. She remembered the in-
cident a few months ago when a
farmer South Georgia killed him-
self. He just could no longer
handle the tremendous pressure.
Beth also related an incident in-
volving a farmer who refused to
let the government take his land.
The farmer was unable to pay his
loan. Beth said, "the whole farmer
situation is so complicated. ..It is
not so much that there is not
enough food, but HOW that food
is distributed...'"
There is no easy solution to the

ASC Joins Peace Movement

by Becky Moses

On Thursday, March 6th, Agnes
Scott students and professors
who had joined in the nationwide
"Witness for Peace" campaign
entitled "Crosses of Sorrow and
Hope" held a brief ceremony re-
membering three names out of
more than 10.000 that have died
in the past three years at the
hands of the U. S. backed contras

in Nicaragua. Their crosses were
placed in the Dining Hall at twelve
o'clock noon.

The three persons remembered
were. Concepcion Blanco, age
42, who died July 27, 1985 in the
ambush of a vehicle carrying wo-
men and children to visit theirs
sons and daughters at a military
camp in Matagolpa; Enrique
Rivera, age 45. killed by a land
mine on July 12, 1985 in Zelaya;
and Victoria D'Avila. age 50, who
was killed in the ambush of a ci-
vilian vehicle leaving San Jose de
Bocay on July 12. 1985.

throughout 1986, "Witness for
Peace" will organize a dramatic
campaign to make the human
costs of the Contra war in Nica-
ragua visible to the American
people. Crosses like the ones dis-
played in the Dining Hall have
been erected in cities and towns
across the nation in the hopes of
drawing attention to the issue dur-
ing the election year.

IBM's First Bash At ASC

by Jan Clapp and Louisa Parker

The IBM party, Social Council's
last bash of winter quarter, drew
a crowd of over 300 party animals.
Social Council chose IBM be-
cause of the band's great popu-
larity, not to mention the popularity
of its lead singer, Ben. The beer
and wine flowed for all (who were
over twenty). Not only typical Tech
and Emory guys came, but also
guys were flown in from distant
Florida. IBM played everything from
Bruce Springsteen to the Stones
(not to mention the Ramones).

This band party was the culmi-
nation of the 85-86 Social Coun-
cil's year and highlight of winter

Many ASC came just to
see Ben, IBM's lead
singer. They were
overjoyed when he
thought he was at the

quarter. The entire council co-
operated in making the banner,
setting up the gym, getting the
refreshments and cleaning up af-
terwards. Without total S.C. par-
ticipation, the party would have
never come off so well.

The gym rocked from seven 'til
eleven. Several ASC students
ragged out in jeans, while others
dressed in skirts and heels. Be-
cause of their diverse styles,
some students preferred certain
songs to others; nevertheless,
everyone seemed to enjoy the
band. It was IBM's first apperance
at Agnes Scott, and one Social
Council member remarked, "We
would like to have them (IBM)
back again if the lead singer will
keep his pants on!!!"

farmer's dilemma. Karla and Beth
suggested some form of farmer
unification, but both agreed that

"the whole farmer
situation is so com-
plicated . . • It is not
so much that there is
not enough food but
how that food is
distributed."

many elements make a strong
unification only a distant dream.
The whole situation is extremely

desparate, yet our government
continues to ignore the issue.
Beth said, "I think the age that we
are in is such and internatinalist
age. ..there is a shift of emphasis
onto other countries..." So, al-
though we do have an obligation
to Third World countries, we also
have a responsibility to our own
forever enduring farmer. Reagan
has requested a $311 billion in-
crease on military spending.
Hopefully Congress will remem-
ber that the money used to create
more destructive bombs will come
indirectly from cutting federal aid
to the farmer.

Blast Into The Past ASC Style

compiled by The Profile staff

Do the Dark Ages sound fa-
miliar to you? Well they must have
been familiar to those Agnes Scott
students attending this fine insti-
tution during 1500 B.C. The fol-
lowing exerpt was found by Pilar
Duque from , shall we say, a very
archaic book. Perhaps these rules
were engraved in stone back then,
but times have changed. Read on
and laugh and remember: "we've
come a long way baby."

Neatness of person, of dress,
of desk and of bedroom is re-
quired. Punctuality at all school
exercises and meals is required.
No one will de excused from
meals except for sickness, in
which case Miss Cooper must be
informed of the absence.

Should a pupil on account of
sickness be unable to attend to
any of the school exercises, she
must present to the teacher from
whose clas3 she will be absent a
written excuse from Miss Cooper.
This rule also applies to walking,
study hall, church and Sunday
School, except in these cases the
excuse must be presented to the
teacher on duty. These excuses
will be given in the infirmary during
the first 10 minutes after breakfast
and dinner.

When pupils are prevented from
attending to their duties by other
causes than sickness they must

be excused by the principal.

Pupils are not allowed to re-
ceive callers on the Sabbath.

Pupils must have their clothes
and clothesbags distinctly marked
with the name of the owner. Each
young lady will take her clothes to
be washed to the west bathroom
on the second floor on Monday
morning before eight o'clock.

Pupils are not allowed to take
dishes from the dinning room.

Pupils are not allowed to borrow
money, jewelry or books, nor wear
the clothing of others, neither will
the exchange of clothing be per-
mitted.

Pupils will not be allowed to
leave the grounds without the per-
mission of the principal (or in the
absence the teacher on duty) nor
to appear on the streets unac-
companied by a teacher. No talk-
ing allowed.

a) in the halls and recitation
rooms during school hours

b) after the lights are returned
off at night

c) during religious exercises,
lectures and entertainment

No loud boisterous talking and
romping is allowed at any time.
Pupils are not allowed to sleep
out of her room.

Pupils are not allowed to re-
ceive callers in their rooms with-
out permission from the Principal.

No nails or tacks shall be driven
in the walls and no pencil marks
shall be made on them. It is earn-
estly hoped that all the pupils will
be careful not to mark or deface

this building or its furniture in any
way.

No hair , paper flowers or any
trash should be thrown into the
slop can as they would obstruct
the sewer pipes. Every girl should
have a basket in her room and
this basket should be emptied in
the can in the hall leading to the
bathroom.

A conduct role will be called in
study hall each night at which
time any pupil who has failed to
comply with the above regulations
of this school will report such
failures and the teacher will give
this pupil such number of marks
as the offense seems to justify.
Deportment is marked down one
for each disorderly mark; one for
each tardy mark. Any pupil who
receives as many as 100 marks
(a demerit containing 5 marks) in
one quarter will be withdrawn from
school.

Picks For The Oscar Season

by Elizabeth Mullis

The Oscars. Pinnacle of fame
in the film-making mecca of Hol-
lywood. Everybody who is some-
body in that town turns out in
jewels and furs and sequins and
tux to witness the event and per-
haps, if they're among the hal-
lowed few, pray that they take one
home.

On March 24 at the Dorothy
Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles,
the National Academy of Arts and
Sciences will hand out the coveted
awards, fulfilling some dreams
and deflating others.

Gene Siskel of Entertainment
Tonight said that the Best Actress
Award should be renamed the
Meryl Streep Acting Award as long
as the blond beauty lives and
breathes. Meryl Streep, nomi-
nated for the sixth time, may have
given a wonderful performance in
Out of Africa, and probably de-
served the award, but Whoopie
Goldberg will win for The Color
Purple

A Chicago born commedianne,

Goldberg captured the essence
of Celie, an oppressed black wo-
man that battles the contraints of
depression age Southern society
to establish herself not only as a
worthy woman, but also a human
being in her own right. Her per-
formance was heart-warming and
perhaps quite a surprise from
such an amateur actress. Her first
time nomination will swing the
Academy vote her way.

Amongst the usually weak and
unexciting list of nominees for
Best Actor, one performance
stands by itself. William Hurt (for-
mally of The Big Chill and Gorky
Park) gave a superior portrayal in
Kiss of the Spider Woman. A
touching but heart-wrenching por-
trayal of a homosexual who has
been put in a foreign prison cell
with heterosexual man. This char-
acter is in great pain, and Hurt
consoles him by telling him the
plot of his favorite movie.

Hurt's portrayal reminds us of
the great male performances of
the past that seem to have left the
present scene. His performance
is commanding. To award the
Oscar to anyone else would be

an incredible injustice, as he has
no viable competition.

Meg Tilly (also formerly of The
Big Chill) gave an wonderful per-
formance as the innocent young
nun who claims a virgin birth to a
baby she murders in Agnes of
God. Tilly so captured the inno-
cence of Agnes and found the
careful balance of humor and
solicitude to create a realistic, be-
lievable character. She shone
among veterans Anne Bancroft
(also nominated for Best Actress)
and Jane Fonda. The Best Sup-
porting Actress Oscar should be
hers with little contest.

The Best Picture Oscar will go
to The Color Purple. Spielberg's
fantastical directing and the ex-
cellent supporting cast have fash-
ioned the most mass-appealing
movie of the five nominees (Out
of Africa, Prizzi's Honor, Wit-
ness, and Kiss of the Spider
Woman). The Color Purple dis-
plays the largest gambit of emo-
tions of any of the nominees: it
entertained, and it taught us a
valuable lesson. It will be inter-
esting to see what Spielberg's
next project will be.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club gave
a joint concert with the Naval Air
Training Command Choir on March
2 in Gaines Chapel.

The Glee Club, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Theodore K. Mathews,
opened the performance with
three flirtatious numbers obvious-
ly selected with the male visitors
in mind. The Naval Choir then
took over with a number of high-
spirited military songs.

A group of six singers from the
Naval Air Choir performed a very
entertaining set of fifties numbers
complete with sunglasses and
leather jackets. Their performance
was made more enjoyable through
the creative use of gestures and
conversation.

After intermission, the Naval Air
Choir sang another set of military
songs and then performed three
songs of a more serious nature
which they were to perform that
same night with the Pensacola
Symphony in Pensacola, Florida,
where they are stationed. The pro-
gram concluded with a set by the
Agnes Scott and Naval Air Choirs
combined.

Both choirs performed well. The
Glee Club's numbers were excel-
lent performances, but perhaps
their talent deserves more than a

performance of silly songs that
play up the fact that men are
visiting.

The final numbers which com-
bined the Choirs were much more
enjoyable because the young men
and women were given a chance
to show their well-roundedness in
the selections which were "Down
by the Riverside," a spiritual, "Be
Still My Soul," a religious prayer.
"Sir Joseph's Barge is Seen," from
Gilbert and Sullivan's "H.M.S.
Pinafore." and a moving rendi-
tion of "The Battle Hymn of the
Republic."

Although the patriotism of the
Naval Air Choir was a bit over-
done, some numbers were very
moving. The sight of the men and
women in uniform proudly sing-
ing Lee Greenwoods "God Bless
America" was an impressive sight.
The Choir also performed "I Thank
Thee Lord" by Lt. Larry Zimmer-
man, the Choir's director. This
song reminded the audience of
the sacrifice that the members of
the military make for their country.
This song was so moving that
some members of the audience
were crying at its end.

"The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" provided a dramatic con-
clusion to the performance as both
groups joined to fill the stage as
Gaines rang with the proud voices
)f young men and women prais-
ng the glories of their country.

Alvin Ailey
Comes To ASC

by Becky Moses

On Thursday, February 20th,
Agnes Scott hosted the renowned
Alvin Ailey Repertory Company
for an evening performance in
Gaines.

The company's first piece, en-
titled "Summer Dance" was the
least appealing of all of the num-
bers. The music to which it was
set. particularly when compared
to the rest of the evening's se-
lections, was rather droopy. The
choreography, which managed a
certain smoothness and sense of
strength, was on the whole lack-
luster and chalky, certainly not
representative of the Ailey com-
pany's usual standard of energy
and creativity.

The next piece, called "Congo
Tango Palace," was set in a sec-
tion of Spanish Harlem during a
fiesta. The dance, originally chor-
eographed in the 1960's, was
lively and masterful, and was re-
sponsible for releasing the audi-
ence from the dreariness of the
first piece. The music sounded
genuinely hispanic, the costumes
were colorful, and the dancers
performed the quick and compli-
cated piece with an amazing agil-
ity and zeal.

The third selection, entitled "Ex-
odus," was dedicated to the fight
against apartheid in South Africa.
It was far more dramatic, more
symbolic than either of the two

previous ones. The music was
Bob Marley and the Wailer's reg-
gae, which perfectly set up the
portrayal of the suppression,
death and final survival of the
citizens. The choreography was
powerful, intense, and again, the
dancers were remarkably dramatic
and commanding.

The final selection, "Revelation."
is a signature Ailey piece and was
by far the most phenomenal of the
evening. Set to negro spirituals,
the dance detailed the struggle of
the negro race to attain freedom
and equal treatment. Every super-
lative expression attached to this
piece fades, and I must admit that
it was one of the most moving,
spell-binding pieces of chore-
ography I have ever witnessed.
There was an oppressive sense
of heaviness and suffering at the
beginning, but midway through
the selection the cloud broke and
Ailey's dancers became invigor-
ating showers of freedom and life.
During the last song , a jazzy
"Rock-a My Soul in the Bosom of
Abraham," the dancers were at
their peak, and they transmitted
an electric current of triumph from
the stage. The audience was im-
mediately on its feet at the con-
clusion of the performance, of-
fering thunderous applause.

Despite its somewhat bland be-
ginning, the Alvin Ailey Repertory
Company's performance was a
cultural, intellectual, emotional
charge.

Orchestra
Performs

by Heather Rogers

The Agnes Scott Community
Orchestra, conducted by Mr.
Marc Burcham, played for a
small audience in Presser Hall
on March 2.

The orchestra performed
Rossini's overture, "An Ital-
ian in Algiers"; Strauss' "Blue
Danube Waltz"; and Hayden's
symphony No. 104, "London."

Freshman flutist, Gwen
Haug, believes the orchestra
is greatly improving. "Given the

time we have to put a concert
together — seven Sunday eve-
nings out of a quarter — we're
doing great," she said.

Gwen has noticed that the
orchestra's musicians are be-
coming better and better, and
that everyone is ready for the
challenge of next quarter's new
music.

The Mikado Entertains Atlanta

by Kimberly Baker

Paul Pruitt as Nanki-Poo and Betty Morgan Sanders as Yum-Yum
in the Southeastern Sovoyards' production of Gilbert & Sullivan's
The Mikado.

The Southeastern Savoyards
closed their 1985-86 season with
an exciting performance of Gilbert
and Sullivan's The Mikado at
Center Stage Theater February
13-16 and 21-23 and at Olive
Swann Porter Hall in Covington
on March 8.

The operetta tells through song
and dance the story of Nanki-
Poo, played by Paul Garth Pruitt,
the son of the Mikado, who is
disguised as a wandering musi-
cian trying to escape an arranged
marriage to Katisha, an elderly
lady, played by Deborah Collins.

Nanki-Poo is searching for
Yum-Yum, his true love, played
by Betty Morgan Sanders. Unfor-
tunately, Yum-Yum is engaged to
be married to Ko-Ko, played by
Rue Knapp, the Lord High Exe-
cutioner of Titipu and the guardian
of Yum-Yum and her two sisters.

The plot is complicated by a law
which makes flirting a crime pun-
ishable by death, and the arrival
of Katisha and the Mikado, played
by Jon Bartlett, who are searching
for Nanki-Poo. All ends well as

Nanki-Poo is married to Yum-
Yum, and Ko-Ko and Katisha are
married.

Rue Knapp was hilarious as
Ko-Ko. He truely captured the
character of a man who loves the
fringe benefits of his title but runs
from the responsibilities which
come with it.

Jeff Whitfield as Pooh-Bah, the
Lord High everything except exe-
cutioner, was excellent in his role
of an arrogant ruler who loves to
misuse his power.

The singing and dancing were
strong and entertaining. Many of
the dances incorporated the use
of the Japanese fan. This added
greatly to the Japanese flavor
of the opera. Unfortunately, the
dancers could have been more
precise in their actions. The timing
was off several times marring the
full effect of the fans.

Katisha did not appear as old
and horrible as her character sug-
gests that she should be. The
Mikado seemed too young to be
the ruler of Japan and the father
of Nanki-Poo. Perhaps their ap-
pearances could have been al-
tered more through the use of
make-up in order to create ap-
pearances that would be more

appropriate for their characters.

Stage directors Sally and Rue
Knapp did an excellent job in
capturing the spirit of Gilbert and
Sullivan and making it accepted
by the Atlanta audience. The per-
formance was more enjoyable
thanks to the personal touches
added by the Savoyards such as
changing the script to read that
Nanki-Poo had fled abroad to
Snellville. Music director J. Lynn
Thompson captured the flavor of
the show in music which reflected
the blend of English flavor with
Japanese highlights characteris-
tic of the performance.

Overall, the performance was
excellent and extremely enter-
taining. The audience responded
warmly and showed their ap-
proval often through laughter and
applause.

An added feature for the Agnes
Scott community was the appear-
ance of Marion Crabb '83 as Pitti —
Sing. After the show, she talked
fondly of her days at Agnes Scott
and her involvement with the
Blackfriars. She credits her ex-
periences here with helping her
succeed after college.

High Exhibits Post-Impressionism Art

(ATLANTA) A pioneering exhi-
bition featuring more than 130
works by over 50 American and
Canadian artists will be on view
at the High Museum of Art from
March 4 through May 11, 1986.

The Advent of Modernism:
Post-Impressionism and North
American Art, 1900-1918, is the
first significant presentation to
chart the influence of Impression-
ists like Cezanne, Matisse and
van Gogh on the development of
the earliest modern art in Amer-
ica. The Exibition, which is com-
prised of landscapes, still lifes
and portraits in striking bold
colors, is made possible by a
grant from the IBM Corporation.

Organized and originating at
the High Museum, the show,
which will present many works
which have never been shown
publicly before and many which
have never been viewed in the
United States, will travel to mu-
seums in Miami, Brooklyn and
Calgary. Canada, upon leaving
Atlanta in May.

The presentation forges new
territory in its focus on North Amer-
ican Post-Impressionist styles.
No other exhibition or related ex-
hibition has been devoted to this
initial phase of American Modern-
ism. Crucial to an understanding
of this period between Impres-
sionism and Cubism is the impor-
tant contribution of the Canadian
artists. The interaction between
American and Canadian artists
has been largely overlooked and
the high quality of the Canadians'
work is little-known in the United
States.

Representative works are by
such artists as Max Weber, Arthur
Dove, Maurice Prendergast, Man
Ray, Marsden Hartley, John Marin,
Arthur B. Carles, Emily Carr,
Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, A.
Y. Jackson, Walt Kuhn, Alfred

Maurer, David Milne, James Wil-
son Morrice, Morgan Russell,
Henry Lyman Sayen, Morton
Schamberg, Abraham Walkowitz,
Marguerite Zorach and William
Zorach.

According to High Museum cu-
rator of 20th century art Peter
Morrin, organizer of the exhibition:
"This show initiates original schol-
arship into the origins of modern
artistic sensibility. The works chart
the development of the earliest
modern art in America, a period
in which the structure of Cezanne
and the color of Matisse had a

broad impact on American and
Canadian painting. This repre-
sents the first serious look at the
earlier beginnings of modern art
in America. The exhibition serves
as an introduction for a wide
American audience to Canadian
artists of high merit."

The exhibition draws on the
expertise of several scholars from
throughout the country and Can-
ada—Gail Levin, critic and art his-
torian; Francis Naumann, Parsons
School of Design; Betsy Fahlman,
Old Dominion University; John

O'Brian, Harvard; Roberta Tarbell,
Rutgers; Joan Murray, Robert
Mclaughlin Gallery, Ontario; Wil-
liam Agee, former director of the
Houston Museum of Fine Arts,
and others.

A fully-illustrated, four-color
200-page catalogue will accom-
pany the exhibition. Essays on
the exhibition have been written
by Agee, scholar Judith Zilczer
and Morrin.

A constant point of reference in
the installation of the show will be
the use of works of art to show
a consciousness of the changed

Canadians Are Top Brass

by Heather Rogers

The internationally acclaimed
brass quintet, the Canadian Brass,
performed with the Atlanta Sym-
phony for one special perform-
ance on March 4. The Brass
instantly captured the audience
as they marched into Symphony
Hall while playing their 24-karat,
gold-plated instruments.

Because not much music has
been written with brass instru-

ments in mind, the Canadian
Brass has transcribed a range of
music from classical to jazz for
their two trumpets, trombone,
French horn and tuba. The Brass
played Handel's Concerto No. 4 in
F Major, Bach's Toccata and Fugue
in D Minor, Pachelbel's Canon in
D Major, and Fats Wallers' Ain't
Misbehaving." The Brass enjoys
telling audiences that had Bach
and Handel lived at the time of
brass instuments, their fugues
and concertos surely would have
been written for brass instuments.

Indeed, after hearing the clarity
and beautiful harmony of classical
music played by brass instru-
ments, the audience begins to
believe that Bach was a brass-
lover at heart. And, of course, the
jazz music came alive with the
brass instruments.

The Canadian Brass received
a standing ovation at the end of
the show. For their second and
final encore, they played a com-
bination of their favorite song,
"When the Saints Go Marching
In," and the Queen of England's
favorite, the "Hallelujah Chorus"
from Handel's Messiah. The out-
come was a clever and suprisingly
beautiful creation: the "Saints'
Hallelujah."

In its entirety, the show was
very entertaining and drew as
much laughter as applause from
the audience — well, almost.

Repertory Opera Opens Season

The Atlanta Repertory Opera
Company launches Atlanta's opera
season with 'The Best of Rep-
ertory in Recital" April 4. 1986
Atlanta area artists will perform
excerpts from favorite operas at
Callanwolde Fine Arts Center.
Marilyn Dietrichs, Artistic Director
for AROC and Master of cere-
monies for the evening, will in-
troduce the artists and provide

informative background on each
opera.

This annual "operalogue" is a
delight for old fans and new
friends of opera, offering an in-
spiring and educational evening
of music.

Tickets are $10, students $5,
and groups S8.50 (tax-deductible).
Complimentary wine and soft
drinks will be served at 7:30pm

with the concert at 8:00 and a
reception to follow. There will be
parking at Faith Memorial Church
with shuttle to Callanwolde Fine
Arts Center, 980 Bnarcliff Rd., NE.
For tickets and information call

A pastel drawing by artist Mary
Cassatt is now on extended loan
to the High Museum. "Sketch
of a Mother Looking Down at
Thomas" is from the collection of
Matt and Jacqueline Friedlander
of Moultrie. GA. Mrs. Friedlander
is a member of the Museum's
Board of Directors; she presented
this work to the museum at a
meeting of the Board on January
20, 1986.

The pastel, completed about
1893. is an excellent example of
one of Cassatt's favorite subjects,
a mother and child. It is most likely
the first of at least six related
works which feature the infant
Thomas with his mother. Freely
drawn with complementary
oranges and blues, the large pas-
tel has a freshness and energy
characteristic of Cassatt's finest
sketches.

circumstances in the 20th cen-
tury—thus bringing this moment
of art history into a broader cul-
tural context.
Goals of the exhibition are:

1) To account for the full com-
plexity of the arrival of color paint-
ing in North America.

2) To propose new contexts for
artists of the period.

3) To call attention to the artistic
quality of neglected work.

4) To recognize thematic links
in the works of art and their re-
lationship to larger issues in 20th
century culture and thought.

5) To relate innovative aspects
of interpretation in the exhibition
to more conventional treatments
of the period.

6) To come to a broader under-
standing of the nature of Post-
Impressionism and Fauvism as
cultural phenomena.

The High Museum of Art will
provide a full complement of adult
and student educational programs
for the exhibition, including films,
lectures, tours, concerts and dance
performances.

The exhibition opens in Atlanta
appropriately during "Canada
Week," a city-wide celebration
featuring concerts, film festivals,
varied Canadian-themed events
at art galleries, shopping malls
and planetariums.

There is no additional charge
for the exhibition other than the
Museum's general admission.

The High Museum of Art is
located at Peachtree and 16th
Streets in the Robert W. Woodruff
Arts Center. Hours: Tuesday
through Saturday, 10:00 AM to
5:00 PM and open until 9:00 PM
every Wednesday; Sunday, noon
to 5:00 PM; closed Monday. For

Cassatt

Cassatt, an American artist who
lived in France for most of her life,
exhibited with the Impressionists
as early as 1879. Her long friend-
ship with Edgar Degas is reflected
in her often distorted perspectives
and in her use of pastel as a major
medium, although Cassatt pro-
duced intimate portraits of up-
per-class women and their do-
mestic lives, instead of Degas'
scenes of bathers and dancers.

This outstanding sketch was
most likely made the same year
that Cassatt contributed a mural
to the World Columbian Exposi-
tion in Chicago. At the end of that
year, her second one-person
exhibition was held at the Paris
gallery of Impressionist dealer
Durand-Ruel.

Mrs. Friedlander is an avid art
collector and patron who has lent
numerous works of art to exhi-
bitions at the High Museum. A
native of New York City, she
moved to Moultrie after her mar-
riage to Mr. Friedlander. She has
been invloved in the visual arts
her entire life, "by exposure and
inclination," as she puts it.

The Cassatt sketch which she
is loaning to the High Museum will
be on view on the Museum's third
floor beginning March 4, 1986.

Tennis And Fun Add Up For Sum

by Jill Owens

There is a wide variety of stu-
dents at Agnes Scott with a wide
variety of interests but for at least
nine hours a week eight of those
students share a common inter-
est. Those students are Katie
MacMillan, Mary Margaret Krauth,
Mitrina Mogelnicki, Thao Tu, Ellen
Jones, Tracie MacMahon, Barbara
Jenkins, and Jill Owens, and they
come together (trying to forget
that upcoming test, the paper due
tomorrow, or the 200 pages of
reading) to play tennis. They work
to improve their backhands, vol-
leys, and footwork but mostly they
come together to have fun.

Even in their loses, Agnes Scott's
tennis team has been having a
great time! After experiencing a
winning fall season, the team
started it's spring season in mid-
February, the season opener was
against Georgia State University.
Agnes Scott didn't quite have
enough drive to over come the
State team but it was a close
match with Georgia State winning

five matches to four. Thao Tu, Jill
Owens, and the doubles teams of
Owens-MacMahon and Jenkins-
Moglenicki won their matches.

Then the fun started. Agnes
Scott won its next three matches
in a row. On the road, they played
Augusta College, winning 7-2,
Armstrong State, winning 8-1,
and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural
College, winning 6-3. the strong
Brenau team was our team's next
opponent. Brenau only gave up
two matches en route to its 7-2
defeat of Agnes Scott. Owens
and the doubles team of Owens-
MacMahon were the winners for
Agnes Scott.

Losses can have a depressing
"I want out" effect on a team or
they can be very motivational.
After losing to a team like Brenau,
even when they played very well,
Agnes Scott's team refused to let
the loss get them down. They
were back in practice encourag-
ing and pushing one another. The
efforts paid off because the fol-
lowing week when Georgia Col-
lege and Shorter College came to
Agnes Scott, they did not get
a warm welcome. Owens, Mac-
Mahon, Krauth and Moglenicki

were singles winners against
Shorter. Doubles winners were
Owens-MacMahon, MacMillan-
Krauth, and Moglenicki-Jenkins.
ASC won 7-2.

Agnes Scott shut out Georgia
College, who was unable to take
a match. Owens, MacMillan,
Krauth, Tu, Jones, Moglenicki, and
the doubles teams of MacMillian-
Krauth, Jenkins-Moglenicki, and
Jones-Tu were victorious.

ASC's next opponent was the
NCAA Division 3 fifth-ranked
team, Emory University. Unfortu-
nately for the home team, Emory
had no trouble beating the NAIA
Agnes Scott team who only won
one match. Tift College then had
the home court advantage when
Agnes Scott travelled to this small
Georgia women's college. There
were only three counts so due to
the length of early matches and
inevitable darkness, two matches
were not played. Owens and
Moglenicki were singles winners;
the doubles were not finished.

Agnes Scott will get its next true
test on April 2nd against Shorter
College and will, hopefully, have
a "fun" time.

Sportsminded Professors: Fitness Of Body And Mind

by Pilar Duque

Every day we go to class and
every day we see our professors
just as that: Professors. They
teach the class, give the home
work, and, of course, administer
the tests. Many we admire, others
we despise, but most of the time
we wonder whether or not they
are really human. Surely they can-
not enjoy life in the same ways we
do ... or can they?

I decided to take upon myself
the task of discovering the truths
about many of the professors
whom we see on campus every
day. Armed with my Press Pass,
a note pad and a pencil, (and
feeling very important) I started
asking questions. I had thought a
lot about what to ask, coming to
the conclusion that the one ques-
tion which would give me the kind
of proof I wanted, was whether or
not the professors did some sort
of exercise in their spare time.
Boy was I in for several surprises!

Getting information was a lot
easier than I had anticipated, for
everyone had seen professors
doing some sort of exercise. Con-
firming that information was an

entirely different matter. Most of
the time I never seemed to catch
the professors in their offices, and
once or twice some refused to talk
to me. Were they possibly hiding
something and feared being dis-
covered? Could it be that they
were ashamed of admitting to be-
ing human and needing to prac-
tice some sort of sport or exercise
in some way?

Fortunately for me and for the
sake of this article, several pro-
fessors were willing to tell about
the kind of things they did for
exercise. It was very interesting to
discover, for example, that Prof.
Harry Wistrand from the Biology
Department plays basketball every
Tuesday night in the feared "aim
to maim" game. He also enjoys
playing baseball, and I'm sure
that the highlight of his season is
the Spring Softball game against
the MIGHTY STUDENTS.

In the same Biology department
I discovered that Prof. John Pilger
another one of those people who
enjoys participating in sports. As
a matter of fact I seem to re-
member seeing him play against
the students in the Wednesday
night VOLLEYBALL FOR FUN
games and, believe me, he was
good. "Played in college," he ad-

mitted one time when I asked
where he obtained his abilities.
But volleyball is not the only sport
he enjoys, for he is also fond of
handball; not the Olympic kind,
but rather the one where two peo-
ple sort-of hit a little ball against
the wall using only their hands.

Kathryn Malody, also in Biology,
is another one whom I have seen
playing volleyball. She told me
that her real love (apart from her
husband of course) is swim-
ming but unfortunately she still
hasn't gotten the chance to do
much of it around here. Another
person who does not get much of
a chance to do what he likes is
Prof. John Tumblin; however that
doesnt surprise me too much
since he likes to go canoeing and,
from what I hear, Georgia is not
known for its rapids and white-
water.

These, however, were not the
only professors I could find that
got out there to do some exercise.
Prof. Mike Brown, History, plays
and coaches soccer and, like
Prof. Gunther Bicknese (from the
German department) he likes to
ride a bicycle. Prof. Bicknese also
shares Prof. Ed Johnson's, Eco-
nomics, and Prof. Cindy Peter-
son's, P.E., love of tennis. All three

of them can be found on the
courts, especially on the week-
ends. Another faculty member
who enjoys tennis as well as soc-
cer is Prof. Alberto Sadun, Pro-
fessor of Astronomy.

There are professors, like Prof.
Art Bowling (Chair of the Physics
Department) who would like to
remain annonymous and unno-
ticed in their quest for sports and
exercise. Prof. Bowling takes to
"midnight jogging" and not be-
cause it is the only time he can

spare.

Professors are human, I've de-
cided, and if not, then they must
be very well trained androids. If
you are one of our faculty mem-
bers who would like very much to
participate in some sort of sports
around here, and if "AIM TO
MAIM" does not sound like your
favorite game, why don't you try
Volleyball for Fun on Wednesday
nights at seven. We'd love to have
you!

You'll Love It!

by Pilar Duque

Winter Quarter volleyball: A "hit" on the court and on T.V.!

For one afternoon, Agnes Scott
students enjoyed outdoor volley-
ball in the middle of winter. Sounds
crazy doesn't it? Well, as with
everything, there was a reason
behind it. Terry Wood and the
Channel 2 news team came on
campus to film part of a docu-
mentary that will be on the air for
several weeks. The documentary
is one of those " You'll Love it!"
commercials, and they wanted to
film the Agnes Scott Volleyball
team playing, with Terry watching.

So, we all put on our official
team shirts, split into two teams.
About fifteen students gathered
on the sidelines to watch the team
battle itself and warmups began.
We had been batting the ball quite
successfully when the camera-

man shouted "Play ball!" It was a
curious comment, but we grace-
fully smiled and ignored it in order
to prepare for the upcoming, hard-
driving bumps, serves and vol-
leys. We enjoyed half an hour of
volleyball while Terry watched and
clapped and looked like he was
enjoying himself. Of course he
was enjoying himself watching
first class volleyball, and being
surrounded by women! What man
wouldn't?

The half hour ended too soon,
and we all had classes and labs
to go to. But fortunately for us. it
was Wednesday, the official day
for VOLLEYBALL FOR FUN! At
seven we met back in the gym for
another half hour of fun and play-
ing. It was the last of these games
for this quarter since next week
will be entirely too close to exams
for anyone to relax. But next quar-
ter we'll start all over again, so be
on the lookout for our games!

Twist Left - Swing Heel

Aerobicise!

by Pilar Duque

As of about seven weeks ago,
strange sounds can be heard
coming from the gym on Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons. "Step-
Heel-Stretch-and Right-and left-
Twist Left-Swing Heel-I eft-Left-
Two Left" You might have guessed
it. It's Aerobics with Linda Florence.

Linda is one of the staff mem-
bers in the Admissions office,
and she started these aerobics on
campus when some of the other
staff members found out that for
five years she taught at the
YMCA. For the first class, about
thirty people showed up, most of
them merely curious about the
whole thing. After that, sixteen or
seventeen people signed up for
the course, which lasts eight
weeks.

The aerobics classes, held twice
a week, last around an hour. The
first ten minutes are spent warm-
ing up and stretching, followed by
12 to 20 minutes of sustained
aerobics. During this time, the
aerobicizers' heart rate goes up

Linda Florence leads the aerobic class while the others try to
Florence, Emily Sharp, Nancy Robinson, Cynthia Richmond, and

to about 70% of its maximum.
Towards the end of the hour, the
music slows down and the ex-
cercises are less strenuous, in
order to allow the heart to slowly
return to its normal rate. After
several minutes of these, it's time
to get down on the floor and do

some abdominal, leg and glutteal
excercises, and then more stretch.

Since the aerobics class only
meets twice a week, and since
you really need to do aerobic
excercises at least three times a
week to stay in shape, Linda en-
courages her students to walk, or

follow. Pictured here are Linda
Becky Moses.

swim, or do some other type of
aerobic excercise on a third night
a week.

So who goes to these aerobics
classes? Mainly the admissions
staff (Faye Noble, Emily Sharp,
Ruth Vedvik, Sharon Core, and
Jan Johnson), the publications

people (Alisa Wendorph and Ann
Bennet), also some representa-
tives from the library, the dean's
office, several students and one
or two faculty members. Although
there are no males in the class,
Linda emphasizes the fact that
men are welcome!

"Excercise has to become a
way of life, and it has to be fun!"
This is the main thing Linda
stressed in our conversation. She
feels that the aerobics industry is
here to stay, because people will
finally see the need to keep their
bodies fit. A word of caution how-
ever: If you go to an aerobics
class, make sure whoever is
teaching it knows what they're
doing, and that they are certified.
Too many people teach aerobics
and over-stress their students,
simply because they don't know
what they are doing.

A new aerobics session starts
at the begining of spring quarter,
so if you are interested, make
sure you contact Linda. The price
for the aerobics turns out to be
about $2.00 per class, or $32 for
the whole eight weeks.

Break-A-Leg: New Sport At ASC

by Pilar Duque

How often do we look at com-
mercials on TV., or at adds on
magazines and newspapers, and
discover gorgeous celebrities ad-
vertizing a health spa, or some
other way of keeping in shape?
How often articles are published
every month on the benefits of
sports and excercise in our daily
life? To excercise is to keep
healthy; that seems to be the
bottom line. And it certainly is true
if we base our observations on
those advertisements. Never does
CHER appear with a cast on her
foot because she broke it when
one of the weights she was lifting
fell.

Unfortunately, those of us who
are not celebrities do suffer from
injuries, whether they be acciden-
tal or due to neglect. Take for
example Rick Scott, Vice-Presi-

dent for Development and Public
Affairs, who while playing a
friendly game of basketball one
night, injured his knee in such a
way that he had to spend several
days at the hospital after under-
going surgery. And how about
Terry Maddox, Business Manager,
who sprained his ankle and wore
a cast instead of a shoe, just
because he decided to join the
same Tuesday night basketball
that Rick Scott did? Could it be
that there are some hidden truths
about that new name that game
has acquired: AIM TO MAIM?

Basketball is not the only sport
that has injured Agnes Scott peo-
ple. Soccer is another big one for
that. Last year while playing the
last game of the season, I broke
the cartiledge in one of my knees
and had to have surgery to get it
removed. After the surgery, I had
to learn to walk all over again. And
fall quarter, Lee Wooton "stepped"
in a hole on our own soccer field
and, injured her ankle in such a

way that even today she is unable
to ride her bicycle because of the
pain.

Of course most of the time the
injuries are not so extensive or so
serious. A pulled muscle, a bruise,
or a scrape, although not major
injuries, are enough to make the
practice of sports or excercise
very uncomfortable and even
painful for a while.

I realize that most of the injuries
I have mentioned could not have
been avoided, but some can.
Warming up before excercising
reduces the risk of a pulled mus-
cle or even the sore feeling of the
"day after." Malfunctioning or
damaged equipment increases
the risk of injuries, just as a ne-
glected field does. However, sports
and excercise are good for us,
and they are fun, even at the risk
of injuries. That is probably why
Rick and Terry are still playing
basketball, and also why I con-
tinue to play soccer.

Review: Dolphin Club Shows Their "Rainbow of Colors"

by Dana Maine

Roy G. Biv. Who is he? Ask any
Dolphin Club member and she
will immediately explain his prom-
inence in the annual show held
on March 27 and 28. Yes, there
are a few who do not know that
Roy G. Biv is the clever way that
art majors and others label the
colors of the rainbow. This year's
theme was A Rainbow of Colors."
For the background scene the
club decided on a large rainbow
which spanned the entirety of the
pool. This design differed from
that of the previous years be-
cause each number did not have

a different scene as others had in
the past. Instead, the rainbow il-
lustrated the unity of the individual
songs.

Each year in the fall the club
decides on a theme for the show
and then procedes to match those
willing to choreograph with differ-
ent groups of swimmers. The next
step is to decide on a song for
each number. This can be difficult
or easy depending on the theme
of the show. This year choosing
the music was somewhat harder
due to the constraint of finding
a piece which had the assigned
color in the title. Some colors
were easier to find than others.
Due to the London Fog singers
the song 'Blue Skies" seemed a

very appropriate choice. Red was
a color a little more difficult to find
but the choice of "Rudolph" was
chosen to add variety to our as-
sortment of songs. In addition to
looking for a specific color in the
title, the choreographer had to be
aware that the arrangement of
the music had to provide for the
rhythm and the beats which are
necessary for a routine.

The bathing suits ("costumes")
worn by each group added an
extra emphasis to the theme of
colors. The suits worn in the finale
were partially funded by a fund
raiser which Dolphin Club hosted
in conjunction with Circle K in the
fall. These same suits were also
used in the duet "Purple Rain."

The members of "Sweet Georgia
Brown" made the most of the
Harlem Globetrotters theme with
the basket ball in the beginning of
their number and the bathing suits
that matched the shorts worn by
the basketball players. As would
be imagined "Tie a Yellow Ribbon"
swimmers had just that, yellow
ribbons tied on their suits. "Old
Black Magic" swimmers accentu-
ated their theme of black and
white by adding to their costumes
black and white gloves. The swim-
mers in "Pink Panther" had match-
ing pink vests with white bow ties
that immitated that famous pan-
ther.

Miss Manuel was instrumental
in the success of the show. The

effort put forth by the officers and
the members themselves could
not have been as affective if Miss
Manuel was not always there with
a level head saying, "It's okay,
they'll never notice once the rain-
bow is hung."

Everyone in the club was re-
quired to attend two or more prac-
tices a week with most members
putting forth three to four hours a
week since winter break. Despite
my inherent predjudice towards
Dolphin Club I think those attend-
ing the show would aggree with
my assessment that the swim-
mers' time resulted in a wonderful
presentation of the ability of the
synchronized swimmers here at
Agnes Scott.

Scott Holds Forum On Crime And Justice

by Beverly Garcia

On Thursday April 3 at 7:30
Agnes Scott College enjoyed an
open forum and discussion on
Crime and Justice: Rights of the
Accused and the Victim. This as-
sembly was one of the series of
Constitution 200 public assemblies
commemorating the bicentenial of
the United States Constitution.
Panel speakers for the assembly
were: Georgia Attorney General
Michael Bowers, former U.S. At-
torney for the Northern District of
Georgia Larry Thompson, and
Georgia State Senator Pierre
Howard. Political scientists, Pro-
fessors Susette Talarico, Univer-
sity of Georgia and Erika Fairchild,
North Carolina State University
prepared the assembly back-
ground paper. The moderator was
Georgia Court of Appeals Judge
Dorothy Beasley.

The evening began with a short
welcoming speech by President
Ruth Schmidt and a greeting by
Chief Justice Thomas O. Marshall
who had been sworn into office
Tuesday April 1st. During the
course of the evening Professor
Talarico explained her background
paper "Crime and The Constitu-
tion." This paper written between
Professors Talarico and Fairchild
dealt with the Bill of Rights and its
effects upon the U.S. judicial sys-
tem. Crime is explained from the
times of colonial America to the
present. Professor Talarico stated
that "The Constitution itself con-
tains few references to crime or
criminal justice. Treason is the
only offense specifically defined."
Each panelist then was allowed a
ten minute speech in which they
explained their views on the U.S.
Constitution both positive and
negative features. Many issues,
such as high crime rates and stat-
istics, were raised in order to give

the audience an idea of the many
problems the U.S. has in relation
to crime, whether due to the Bill
of Rights or by unconcerned
courts and judges.

The debate was then ended
and questions from the floor were
welcomed during which some
lively participants emerged. After-
wards a pleasant reception was
given. Agnes Scott students had
the opportunity to meet these dis-
tinguished political figures. The
turnout of students, faculty and
community members was a good
one for the evening's event.
Though many questions were
raised by this controversial topic,
few concrete answers, that would
please everyone, were given. This
discussion left one with the feeling
that it is up to each individual to
analyze the Constitution and de-
cide whether it still applies well for
this date and time in which we live.

ASC's Delegates Attend Democrat Convention

by Lisa Gugino

After a brief lull the Agnes Scott
Young Democrats have revived
themselves to meet the challenges
of this exciting election year. They
started their agenda of activities
by attending the Young Democrat
State Convention. This year the
convention was held at the Colum-
bus Hilton, in Columbus, Georgia.
The convention, besides being a
fun social event, was also a very
serious affair. Young Democrats
from campuses and counties all
over the state gathered to decide
the new Executive Board for the

1986-1987 term. The Agnes Scott
chapter brought four voting dele-
gates to the convention, thus in-
creasing their voting capacity over
last year by two votes. Those
students participating were Julie
McConnell, Julie Hartline, Angie
Howard and Lisa Gugino.

The process of electing the
Executive Board is no laughing
matter to the delegates, who often
get in heated debates over their
campaign picks. Many of the can-
didates for office had announced
months ahead of the convention,
had put large sums of money into
campaign paraphernalia, and had
organized elaborate support systems.

The convention began in a whirl-

wind of caucus meetings and hos-
pitality rooms, all of which were
buzzing with political talk of candi-
dates and assorted issues. While
the candidates worked hard to
secure votes, the more than 200
state delegates had plenty of time
to participate in the Roosevelt
Center's Wildfire Game on Nu-
clear Proliferation. The Agnes
Scott delegates enjoyed partici-
pating in this exciting and some-
times frustrating mock nuclear
conflict. After acting as diplomats
to the many countries of the world
the Agnes Scott delegation had
an appreciation for the difficulty
and the necessity of maintaining
harmonious relations with other

Ride Shows Shuttle Shots

by Heather Rogers

Dr. Sally K. Ride -

NASA Johnson Space Center,

Houston Texas

Dr. Sally K. Ride, the first Amer-
ican woman in space and a vete-
ran of two space shuttle flights,
spoke at Symphony Hall on the
evening of April 4. The lecture was
sponsored by Sigma Xi, the Scien-
tific Research Society, which is
celebrating its centennial anniver-
sary.

Dr. Ride showed a series of
slides taken from the 24 shuttle
missions and a short film from
one of her flights. Her confident
presentation was filled with a spir-
ited sense of humor.

Although Dr. Ride is a member
of the NASA committee investigat-

ing the January explosion of the
Space Shuttle Challenger, she
was unable to divulge any new
information about the accident be-
cause the investigation is ongo-
ing. Dr. Ride had trained with
many of the Challenger's crew
since the origination of the pro-
gram in the late 70's. Her third
venture into space, scheduled for
early 1986, was postponed be-
cause of the accident.

At the end of her presentation,
Dr. Ride seemed unaffected by
the thunderous applause and left
the stage not as a celebrity but as
a scientist who was just doing her
job.

As the audience was leaving,
three women protested the space
shuttled involvement with the military.

countries.

The elections which took place
Saturday afternoon in the Hilton's
convention center created much
nervous excitement. The Agnes
Scott delegation, after a great
deal of deliberation, picked their
presidential candidate, a senior
History major from Emory Univer-
sity. Unfortunately, as Agnes Scott
learned, politics does not always
reward one's candidate with an
office. An Effingham County school
teacher won the presidency on a
platform promising, the creation
of new chapters, reduced fac-
tionalism, and the ability to get
Democratic candidates in office.
Although disappointed, the Agnes

Scott delegation concluded their
experience by agreeing to work
with the new administration with
the hope of unifying the party.

Agnes Scott's Young Democrats
will continue to be active by parti-
cipating in the many Democratic
Senatorial Campaigns now being
conducted in the Atlanta area. All
interested Agnes Scott students
up to the age of 35 are welcome
to join Young Democrats. This
organization is a great way to
meet new people as well as shar-
pen one's political wits. If inter-
ested in getting involved in this up
and coming organization call X758
and ask for Lisa.

TO THE POINT

by Elizabeth Mullis

One day during my spring break vacation at Myrtle Beach when
my friends and I had had too much sun and fun and MTV, we drove
down the beach to Brookgreen Gardens, Archer and Anna Hyatt
Huntington's outdoor plantation sculpture garden. (Like good little
liberally educated Scotties we were seeking our weekly dose of
culture.)

Adjacent to the gardens was a wild life park. In it was an
impressive white-tale deer exhibit. We stood in awe as twenty deer
came timidly from hiding out into the middle of their field, almost,
it seemed, to show off for us. My roommate Lisa advised the deer,
"watch out, you don't do that in the real world."

Her comment reminded me of the tendency we all have here at
Agnes Scott to make this campus our own little microcosm, a place
where we loose sight of the outside world so that perhaps our
actions, words and attitudes reflect a narrow perception of reality.

Last quarter Frances Dakos orchestrated a group editorial to the
Profile voicing her discontent with the sparce attendance at the
Founders Day activities. I think Frances was justifiably worried
about Agnes Scott students not making an effort to expand their
view of the world by attending these thought provoking slate of
lectures.

Forgetting that there is an outside world is easy to do here. I find
myself going for weeks on end without leaving the campus except
for a midnight Burger King run. And when I finally make it out. I go
through a brief period of culture shock— you mean there really are
men my age and people who can't afford to buy the latest color
Forenza sweater? Perspective is a funny thing. Richard Bach once
wrote. "Perspective— use it, or loose it."

Over at the Profile office there are two tremendously huge blue
clown shoes. We have no idea where they came from, but Profile
legend goes that they are the shoes of the previous editor, big ones
indeed. As I take over as Profile editor, I see the tremendous job
before me, and I go to sleep many nights with the vision of those
ridiculous blue shoes in my head.

The Profile staff has made unbelievable strides in the recent
past to improve the quality of the paper. We're proud of the work
we've done, but there are miles of room for improvement. My main
objective is to make sure our newspaper does not loose sight of
our place not only in our local community but also in the Atlanta
community and even in the national community.

You may notice some new additions and changes. I encourage
you to be critical, and let me know what you feel about them. The
Profile is, after all, a reflection of the climate of the community. The
opinions of every member of this community are important to me
and the Profile staff. Let me know what you think.

Apply For Allard K. Lowersteiln Fellowship Program

Six college students, from
widely divergent campuses rang-
ing between states such as Geor-
gia and Ohio, recently completed
a four week stay in Washington
as part of American for Democrat-
ic Action's newly created 'Allard K.
Lowenstein Fellowship Program".
The 'Fellows' were placed as in-
terns as Congressional offices,
an opportunity which provided
them with a practical, on-hands
knowledge of how government
functions and a close look at the
politics "behind the scenes". They
also took part in a vigorous
schedule of public policy semi-

nars specifically created for the
fellowship, and expanded their or-
ganizing skills through workshops
designed to teach them nuts and
bolts of building coalitions be-
tween campus and community
groups, lobbying legislators,
using the media to mold public
opinion, and motivating students
to become active.

Now twelve more students have
the chance to participate in the
Lowenstein Fellowship's summer
session, and learn the necessary
organizing skills that they need to
become effective leaders on cam-
pus and later in life. Sponsored

Another Voice

by Joy Jones

Recently, I read a very interesting short story called "Sisters" in
Essence magazine.

It was about a young black woman who had, according to white
America's standards, "made it." She was an ivy league college graduate
and had also attended a very prestigious graduate school where she
obtained her M.B.A.

The young woman had landed a well-paying job with a major cor-
poration and had her own office— complete with subordinates.

On the flip side, there was also another young black woman of the
same age who worked in the building. However, she was not as
"fortunate" as her corporate sister. She worked as a cleaning lady in
the building. -

Careful not to be thought of as just "the typical black person," the
successful sister always made sure to do things so as not to be part
of the stereotype. She arrived at work an hour early and stayed an
hour late. No one was going to call her lazy. She spoke the most
unblemished English— careful not to insert a "be" in front of a present
participle, and of course, would never bring leftover chicken in her
lunch.

She was very uncomfortable whenever the cleaning lady came around.
The cleaning lady seemed to daily erase whatever positive influences
she had had on her white fellow employees who felt she was a credit
to her race. She answered the white employees with a jovial , "Yes
m'am" or "Yes sir" and smiled as she vacuumed and dusted around
them.

The cleaning lady was just as perturbed at her sister who was too
uppity to speak when she got off the elevator. She, too, had wanted
to go to college — clerical school, but it was all just the same. But, she
knew she would never have acted that way.

As it turns out, both of the women regret their treatment of each
other, but neither of them say anything or ever speak to each other,
so the hostile, negative feelings remain.

The story really hit home, because I see this same uncomfortable
"Sisters" relationship between some of the black students and the
maids and cafeteria staff that clean up after and serve white people.
Sounds so '60ish and southern. It is. The only reason it seems so bad
is because the message seems to be that those are the only capacities
in which blacks are competent— as there are no black professors or
administrators and no white maids or cooks.

But, it should not be embarrassing to a black student. Some of the
maids have been here for years and it has been a career for them.
They have managed to provide guidance and support for many
generations of ASC students and are proud of that. They are, no doubt,
proudest of their own children that many of them have put through
other institutions of higher learning by working here. I can vouch for
the guidance because without them, I do not think I would still be here.
Others of them may be like the cleaning woman in the story and simply
a change in their lives led them here. Whatever the case, they are working.

What they are doing is not demeaning; it is how they are treated.

Some of the women are older than our grandmothers and are still
being spoken to (if at all) by their first names. I know in my house I
was taught to respect my elders. I am sure that that lesson does not
vary that much from household to household. A "Ms." in front of a first
name even sounds better; i.e. Ms. Hanna.

If they are spoken to. it is to complain about a blown lightbulb or
the lack of sani-bags and toilet tissue in the bathrooms. It really should
not be that way.

Many of us have heard of Carl Marx's doctrine wherein he writes
about the detrimental effects that a person suffers when he or she is
alienated from his or her labor. It is true. I worked in a Burger King for
a four days and quit because of it. It affects ones personal life when
one's worth is no more than that of one's trade. If you are the president
of a college or the maid that cleans her office, as a human, you need
something beyond a simple job description to feel human.

This is all just food for thought, but it is something to munch on. If
you want to hear about the "good of days" when your sister was here
or simply get the gossip from a few years back, it is all still here and
more vivid than a 1968 copy of the Silhouette Just talk to the "sister"
on /our hall.

by Sarah Jewett

As a result of the elections at
the end of last quarter, students
have placed their power and trust
in a new set of leaders. Enthusi-
astic and capable, these leaders
have a strong desire to serve the
needs and concerns of the stu-
dents and bring unity to the Agnes
Scott Community.

The new Honor Court president
is Jackie Stromberg, a present
sociology major. Jackie ran for
this position because she "...felt
that Honor Court needed leader-
ship that was positive and optimis-
tic" and she wanted to be that
force.

Jackie's major goals for Honor
Court include: a resolution to the
alcohol policy "crisis", instilling a
sense of responsibility in the stu-
dents toward dorm life (especially
in cases of stealing), and to work
with the admissions office in order
to emphasize the ideals of Honor
Court to perspective students.
Her overall goal is a renewal of

faith in the Honor Court system.

In the future, Jackie is planning
to be an elementary school teacher
and she believes her new role will
provide valuable experience. Her
presidency will give her the oppor-
tunity to debate both sides of the
issue, and place herself in the
students place while remaining
professional.

Margaret Hamm, a current
chemistry major, is the new Inner
Dorm president. She ran for this
position because she likes being
involved in the life of the campus
community.

Margaret's goals for Inner Dorm
include making sure that dorms
like Winship and Hopkins are not
forgotten in the midst of renova-
tion and to see that everyone is
happy with their dorm life. She
believes her role as a leader will
be beneficial because "...coor-
dinating activities and learning to
work with other people is helpful
no matter what you do." Margaret
plans to go to graduate school
after college.

Melanie Sherk, currently a
philosophy/english major, has

been elected to the post of Stu-
dent Government Association
president. She ran for this position
because she believes that she
"...has a good awareness of the
workings of the campus and direc-
tion many people would like it to

go."

Melanie's main goals as presi-
dent include helping organiza-
tions to run more smoothly as a
unit rather than different entities
and helping the students to see
the views of the administration
with compassion and an open
mind with similar consideration
from the administration.

Melanie has dreams of becom-
ing an attorney or a professor of
English. In terms of her dream to
be an attorney, she believes that
this position will help her to be a
strong leader who is responsible
and open to suggestions. If she
decides on the route of professor-
ship, she believes she will have
good experience as a liason
between the students and the
administration.

Students Extern Over Break

by Karen Younger

"Fun," "Fantastic," "Interesting,"
"Good experience," and "Really
neat"— if you heard these re-
marks or ones like them when you
returned to campus this quarter,
they were probably not from the
sun-tanned, return-from-the-
beach Scotties but from the satis-
fied (though pale) externs!

Once again during spring break
the office of Career Planning and
Placement offered the opportunity
for externships. Externing is a
chance for students to explore a
job situation on a short term basis.
These externs worked for one
week in various job capacities
depending on individual interest.
This year only six students partici-
pated in the program, but all agreed
it was a huge success.

Two seniors, who are both Eco-
nomics-Spanish majors, spent
the week in New York City work-
ing at the United Nations. Mercy
Badia and Andrea Morris had an
"incredible learning experience"

working in the Photographs-
Exhibitions section of the U.N.,
but both agreed that their favorite
part was the special passes that
they were given that let them roam
around and learn the inner work-
ings of the United Nations. Al-
though New York is expensive,
the experience and the view from
the U.N. buildings made this ex-
ternship an experience not to be
missed.

Natalie Whitten, class of 1987,
also traveled this spring break.
She went home to New Orleans
to extern with Middle South Utility
Company, a holding company for
many companies in the South. As
an economics major she gained
valuable experience working in
their Treasury-Cash Manage-
ment Office. Being home she also
got to catch up on old friends.
Natalie says, "It was a good experi-
ence and I hope a student will
extern there next year."

Beth Land, a sophomore math-
physics major, externed at Man-
agement Decision Systems in At-
lanta with an Agnes Scott alumna.
She learned about the business

and helped prepare for an upcom-
ing conference.

Kathryn Smith, also a sopho-
more, who is interested in law,
externed with Georgia Supreme
Court Justice Charles Weltner.
Not only did she observe court
cases, but she learned about all
aspects of the legal professions.

Christy Noland, class of 1988,
did not have to worry about im-
pressing her sponsor. Her spon-
sor was her uncle, an orthopedic
surgeon at Piedmont Hospital in
Atlanta. Besides observing two
operations, she made rounds,
was at office visits and learned
about coexisting professions such
as physical therapy.

Although these externships were
diverse, all of the externs agreed
on the importance of the program.
Not only is it a valuable learning
experience, but is a lot of fun and
well worth one week of spring break.
So don't let next spring break fly
by without checking at the Career
Planning and Placement Office to
find that special opportunity just
for you.

Classroom

by Claudette Cohen

Imagine studying in China, Tur-
key or Sri Lanka. Alone in a world
so different from home, you would
be both terrified and exhilarated.
You have now imagined what stu-
dents from the East must feel when
they come here to study.

At Agnes Scott, you and I can
share with students from across
the globe their unique experience
of learning in two very different
cultures.

I talked with three such stu-
dents about their experience:
Shen Qi from Shang Hai in the
People's Republic of China;
Nelathi Nanayakkara from Sri
Lanka; and Elif Melahat Velibese
from Izmir, Turkey.

How is it to study in a different
language with even a different
alphabet? Shen Qi, Nelathi, and
Elif all learned the fundamentals
of English in their schools back
home. Since Sri Lanka, whose
native language is Singhalese,
largely requires English in school
and in jobs, and since Nelathi's
parents both speak English as
well as Singhalese, Nelathi is per-
fectly at home with English. She
says she sometimes even dreams
in English. How many Scotties
can dream in Singhalese?

In Turkey, Elif went to an Amer-
ican school taught by mission-
aries. There, almost all the
classes were held in English, so
that she too considers English
second nature to her. What is
difficult, she says, is French.

Shen Qi learned the basics of
English in school and then taught
herself the rest. When she first
came here, she was very unsure
of her English. She said that it has
improved in "plateaus," where for
a long time it would stay the same
until at last she could leap forward
to a higher plateau. She found
that the more she learned, the
more difficult it became to learn
more. Right now, the greatest dif-
ficulty she has found is recogniz-
ing and pronouncing English
names, especially all the names
in her textbooks mentioned so
quickly in class. Though her Eng-
lish is fluent and her comprehen-
sion excellent, Shen Qi still carries
with her a Chinese-English dictio-
nary just in case an unfamiliar
word comes up.

All three students mentioned
one very big cultural difference
between their countries and here:
ow people act towards each other.
All three were surprised by the
informality in the classroom here.
Elif says that in Turkey, when the
professor walks into class, the
students rise and say, "Good morn-
ing, Mr. So-and-so." Shen Qi says
that in China a student must stand
up straight when the professor calls
upon her to answer a question.
And Nelathi pointed out that in Sn
Lanka, the professor never asks
the class, "Now what do you think

of it?" In all three countries, rather
than in-class discussion, the stu-
dents only listen to the lecture and
take notes. Both Elif and Shen Qi
noticed that here students feel
free to put their feet up on the
desks or on the tables in the Din-
ing Hall. This is a much rarer sight
in their countries.

Shen Qi says that in China,
people seldom hug. Here, "people
carry on and show their feelings
more openly." She contrasts Chinals
"introverted" and "conservative"
character to America's character,
which she says is "overflowing
with enthusiasm."

Studying in the U.S. has given
these three students more insight
not only into this culture but into
their own as well. Nelathi says
that coming over here has gotten
rid of a lot of defensiveness she,
along with most Sri Lankans, used
to feel against the West. Westerni-
zation is frowned upon in Sri
Lanka, because the West is seen
as being loose and having cor-
rupted values. But because she
has learned about Western cul-
ture, Nelathi has been able to
judge for herself the different values
of both cultures. For instance, she
now rejects the idea of fixed mar-
riage in her own culture, but she
also reflects the overrebellious-
ness of America's youth against
tradition. The whole experience of
studying over here has helped
her to become independent and
to make decisions on her own.

Shen Qi also says that combin-
ing two cultures in one mind has
blended tradition with new think-
ing. She too has learned much
about independence and how to
get along with people in an en-
tirely different culture.

Elif finds that a great advantage
to studying in another culture is
"the experience of accepting others'
opinions, even if you don't like it."
She says that here there are so
many kinds of people to get to
know and so many opportunities
for learning such as internships
and two-person classes and so
many choices to make, even as
to what brand to buy among the
fifty toothpastes on the shelf in the
super-market.

When asked whether they had
had many opportunities here to
share their unique background,
all three hesitated. Nelathi said
that she was not used to speaking
up in class. Shen Qi gave a beau-
tiful Chinese proverb that means
something like, "When you live
with someone, you exert a subtle
influence on them." Elif was more
explicit. She said that though at
Great Scott she gave a slide pre-
sentation about Turkey, few came.
And she noted that Americans
keep calling the city Constan-
tinople when it's been Istanbul for
900 years. She thought this lack
of interest might be because Tur-
key does not commercially pro-
mote itself enough for tourism.

Might it also be because Amer-
icans still have a touch of iso-
lationism and xenophobia in them?
It is natural to fear something

different. But when I think of the
courage it must have taken for
three students hardly out of their
teens to come thousands of miles
alone to spend years in a com-
pletely different world, I find no
excuse to shy away from meeting
someone from a different culture,
especially those as gracious and
eager to share their experiences
as the students we have at Agnes
Scott. If we don't break the bar-
riers here, how can we ever break
the barriers world-wide?

Dating

by Adlen Walker

Dating. We are all familiar with
the term, regardless of how many
(or how few) dates we actually
have. Dating in the U.S. is strongly
encouraged. Beginning in
elementary school we learn the
crucial phrase "going steady" be-
fore we learn how to multiply or
divide. We save our meager allow-
ances to purchase I.D. bracelets
and other trinkets for our "boyf-
riends." High school is worse.
Holding hands and kissing are
viewed as childsplay. Pressures
of sex soon dominate over
academic worries.

But what about other countries?
Do young women around the world
have the same problems as we
"free" Americans do? TO answer
these and other questions, we
went to the experts— to some of
the international students here at
Agnes Scott.

Nelathi Nanayakkara, more
commonly known as Nela, is a
freshman from Sri Lanka. Agnes
Scott was Nela's first taste of
America. She says dating in the
U.S. is quite different from dating
at home in Sri Lanka. Nela ex-
plains that schools in the cities
are segregated, that is, girls and
boys attend schools separately
until the eleventh grade. The uni-
versities are coeducational. In Sri
Lanka, relationships are per-
ceived differently than they are
here in the U.S. Friendships with
the opposite sex are definitely
encouraged. But ANY type of inti-
mate contact is severely frowned
upon.

To illustrate Nela recalled an
incident which happened at a high
school social she attended. She
was laughing and having fun, and
suddenly found herself holding
hands with a boy. Nela said she
remembers receiving a reprimand-
ing look from her principal, and
she remembers feeling guilty the
next day. To most of us Ameri-
cans, this attitude toward boy/girl
relationships seems harsh. But
Nela's culture encourages some-
thing we Americans sometimes
forget: Respect for the opposite
sex in a purely platonic manner.

So, in America there is much
more freedom, but this freedom is
not always beneficial. In Sri Lanka
the relationship between a boy

and girl does not have the pres-
sures of sex. this friendship bond
as Nela says, "gives you an idea
of men in general. ..of brother-
hood. ..of humanity..."

Thao Tu is a freshman who is
originally from Saigon, Vietnam.
She and her family came to the
U.S. in 1979, and now their home
is in Tampa, Florida. In Vietnam,
the elementary schools (up to the
fifth grade) are segregated for
boys and girls. And although the
high schools are coeducational,
the boys sit on one side of the
room and the girls sit on the other.
When asked to describe dating in
Vietnam, Thao answered simply,
"There is NO dating." Boys and
girls are not allowed to date until
they are out of high school, at
which time they are considered
mature enough to handle a re-
lationship. Dating after high
school is a major ordeal. Thao
says it is quite a formality to ask
someone out. And if you date
someone three times, people will
think you should go ahead and
get married!!

Nela and Thao agree that par-
ents in their cultures play a much
more important role, as far as
dating goes, than they do here in
the U.S. For example, Nela says
that in Sri Lanka it seems young
people have more respect for their
parents' wishes. Even after high
school, the parents are STILL im-
portant. If a relationship which is
more than friendship begins to
develop, the couple would go to
the parents to discuss the de-
veloping sentiments. Thao ex-
plains similarly that in Vietnam,
most families are very strict. Ar-
ranged dating and arranged mar-
riages are extremely common. And
even during the dating phases,
the parents' approval is crucially
important.

In general, youths of America
tend to have much more freedom
in dating than do our friends from
across the world. But this "free-
dom" brings with it many pres-
sures, and the American system
of dating does not encourage true
FRIENDSHIP with the opposite sex.
In both Sri Lanka and Vietnam,
the concept of dating connotes a
very serious relationship. But their
concept of friendship before dat-
ing promotes fun without commit-
ment, partnership without sexual
pressures, and dating with selec-
tivity and sincerity.

Social Life

by Becky Moses

Coming out of Letitia Pate, the
doors are plastered with colored
invitations to fraternity parties at
Tech. Already a band warms up
in the Infirmary Gardens. It's Fri-
day night and a TGIF is on Agnes
Scott's social agenda. For some
students, beer, music, and men
add up to a great time, but for
Agnes Scott's minority students,
the equation may not be so sim-

ple. In fact, many express a dit.
tinct disisfaction with their social
options.

Their primary concern is that
minority students, both interna-
tional and American, feel they
aren't adequately represented on
the social scene.

"TGIF's are limited to a certain
kind of people. Foreign students
may not necessarily identify with
this type of student," claims
Monica Duque, a native of Colum-
bia, South America. Her senti-
ments are shared by a number of
the international students on the
Agnes Scott campus, many of
whom are from cultures which
place much less emphasis on the
TGIF-Fraternity type parties as
the main form of socializing.

"Alot of people like to go out
partying and drinking," says
Pramoda Rao, an ASC junior,"but
I'd rather go see a play"

It is precisely this difference in
interests which helps to create a
sense of social estrangement for
so much of Agnes Scott's minority
population. They just don't feel
they fit in. And for most of them,
the solution is not as simple as a
quick jaunt to Tech.

Then what is the solution? Jane
Castles, President of the Social
Council, reflects an eagerness
and open-mindedness on the part
of the Social Council to finding
creative solutions to what she ad-
mits is a problem. "Since 3 A of the
school can't drink, we're moving
away from the TGIF's and starting
to do more entertainment type
things, like the Scallion Sisters.
vVe want to cater to a diverse
group of interests." They are
limited, however, when relatively
few minority students petition for
Social Council positions. They rely
heavily on surveys for information
on student likes and dislikes.

Social Council is also enthusi-
astic concerning co-sponsoring
events with specific interest
groups. Currently these interest
groups, such as CHIMO and SBA,
provide some social activity for
their members, but interaction
with Social Council might provide
a more integrated effort.

Many students feel another solu-
tion would be to develop better
communications with minority
groups on other campuses. In-
teractions of such types now are
too infrequent to benefit the stu-
dents. "The connections between
Agnes Scott minority students
and other campuses are very
very weak," says black student
Kecia Cunningham. "At Wellesley,
there was a bus system which ran
every night of the week until three
a.m. between Wellesley, MIT, and
Harvard. We had events, both
black and white, postered, and
we had transportation. Here, if
you don't have a car, too bad."

But it can't be limited to social
events, claims Karen Grantham,
black senior. "There need to be
events of a scholarly nature, too,
so that we foster an understand-
ing that if these people come out

Mainstage Season Closes With Hamlet

Gregory Martyn, center, plays Hamlet in Shakespeare's Hamlet at
the Alliance.

The Alliance Theatre Company
will present Hamlet on the
Mainstage through May 3, 1986.
The final production of the
Mainstage season, this compel-
ling drama is considered the most
grand of Shakespeare's works. It
is the turbulent story of an intro-
spective son's hesitations over
avenging his fathers murder and
his mother's disloyalty. It is also
the story of man's inner conflicts
and the basic struggles between
good and evil, reason and pas-
sion.

Hamlet, prince of Denmark, is
an intelligent, cultured young
man, who has left his studies in
Germany to return home for his
father's funeral. Upon his arrival
at court, he is confronted with his
mother's sudden, "incestuous"
marriage to his father's brother
and with the revelation of his
father's murder by his uncle-
turned-stepfather. In a short time,
he sees a trusted counselor and
two friends turned into spies by
his usurping uncle and finds him-
self enmeshed in a society that is
founded not upon reason, but upon
barbarity.

To avenge his father's death
would be an act of tribal justice,
understandable in a primitive soci-
ety, even expected in the darkly
Medieval society of his native
land. But this eye-for-an-eye
philosophy is abhorrent in the
reasoned society in which Hamlet
has learned to live on the conti-
nent; and he delays his act of
revenge, because he does not

want to succumb to the violent
side of his own nature. Hamlet
recognizes and agonizes over the
duality of good and evil within
man, and by the play's devastating
end. Hamlet is reconciled at last
to this dichotomy.

Director Tony Tanner sees Hamlet
as a modern man, the embodi-
ment of the High Renaissance, a
man who believes in the dis-
course of reason. "I think Hamlet
is the greatest play ever written,"
says Tanner. "It is a basic
Elizabethan revenge play based
on very early very primitive mate-
rial and, at the same time, you've
got the great and extraordinary
soul of Shakespeare embodied...
in this extraordinary Renaissance
prince."

Tanner, who has more than fifty
productions to his credit, started
his 33-year career in theatre as
an actor in England. He began
directing at the age of 29 and has
since directed everything from
Broadway and Off-Broadway to
regional theatre, musicals,
Shakespeare and contemporary
plays. His work has been nomi-
nated for several Tony Awards.

In the role of Hamlet is Gregory
Martyn. Martyn last appeared on
stage as Victor in The Manhattan
Theatre Club production of "Other
Places" by Harold Pinter. He also
appeared at the Long Wharf The-
atre in "Not Quite Jeruselem" and
the title role of Liviu Ciulei's pro-
duction of "Peer Gynf'at the Guthrie
Theatre. He is probably best known
for his portrayal of Marco Santorelli,

Paul Lifton, a new member of the
theatre faculty, will direct the play,
and freshman Ashley Moorer will
be the assistant director.

The play is set in Kent, England,
in the late 1930's, where Charles
Condomine and his wife Ruth have
invited the Bradmans to partici-
pate in a seance conducted by
Madame Arcati. Charles intends
the whole thing as a ploy to get
research for a book he is writing
on the occult, but somehow during
the evening, the ghost of Elvira is
conjured up. Only Charles can
see and hear her, causing under-
standable confusion to the others
present.

"Blithe Spirit" is a typical Noel
Coward play— a light drawing room
comedy with witty repartee and
absolutely no social comment,
scathing or otherwise. To quote
Ruth, the play is, "Lovely — dry as
a bone."

Allen's Hannah And Her Sisters Shines

by Sarah Napier

Woody Allen's fifteenth film,
Hannah and Her Sisters, is one

of his best yet. The film is full of
Allen's distinctive wit and gift for
irony but it is also warm, romantic,
and, believe it or not, optimistic.

Hannah and Her Sisters is a
romantic comedy set in Manhat-
tan. The movie focuses on the
complex, and sometimes ridicul-
ous, problems of modern urban
life, particularly those relating to
love and relationships. Unlike
other Allen films, this movie does
not focus on a single relationship
but rather a network of them and
the family that connects them all.

Hannah, Mia Farrow, is the

Joyful Noise Organizes
To Preserve Heritage

stereotypical "wonderful woman."
She is loving, giving, beautiful,
and motherly as well as being a
great cook. She spends most of
her life giving to others.
• Her husband, Elliot, Michael
Caine, is a guilt ridden accountant
who is boyishly in love with Hannah's
beautiful, dreamy sister, Lee,
Barbara Hershey, who is search-
ing for love and security.

Hannah's second sister, Holly,
Dianne West, is the film's most
memorable character. She is flaky,
hypersensitive, eccentric, and
forever trying new careers and
lifestyles.

Allen himself plays Hannah's
ex-husband, a hypochondriacal
television producer. Hannah's par-
ents, Maureen O'Sullivan, the
mother of Mia Farrow, and Lloyd

Noland, also appear as eccentric
ex-actors.

The film begins and ends with
a Thanksgiving celebration at
Hannah and Elliot's house, where
Hannah, of course, cooks a won-
derful meal. Between these two
celebrations, the film spans two
years, the characters all seem to
be looking for some sort of mean-
ing in their lives and relationships.

Holly changes careers three times.
Elliot has an affair with Lee, but
Lee drops Elliot and marries her
teacher at Columbia. Allen him-
self quits his job and tries Catholo-
cism but ends up married to Holly.
Hannah is confronted by Holly
about the fact that she only gives
and never demands anything of
anyone else.

Somehow from all this turmoil

the characters emerge seeming
happy.

Allen's gift for dialogue shines
in this film. The characters' lines
are hilarious at times but also
touching and romantic. In some
scenes the viewer nears the char-
acters' thoughts which gives help-
ful insight into each personality.

The cinematography is beauti-
ful, with rich, colorful scenes of
Manhattan.

Captions, similar to those of
silent movies, are used to divide
the sections of the film which
enhances the humor.

Farrow and Wiest give especially
notable performances. Allen is
hilarious, especially dancing away
from Mount Sinai hopital after dis-
covering he does not have a brain
tumor and informing his parents

Two years ago, Dean Kirkland
assembled the minority students
for an informal discussion. The
general consensus was that the
needs of minority students were
not being met. The idea of a
creative venture surfaced. Be-
cause of the environment in which
the students found themselves,
they saw the need not to lose
sight of their heritage. They also
saw the need to heighten the
consciousness of the community-
at-large.

The result is the formation of
Joyful Noise, a gospel choir. It is
under the direction of Dr. Byrnside
and meets weekly on Thursday
from 7-8 p.m. Membership is open
to anyone in the Agnes Scott
community who is patient, music-

loving and open to new experiences.

Joyful Noise made their debut
on April 10 during the annual Glee
Club Spring Concert. If you heard
them, we hope you found their
performance inspirational. If you
did not hear them, there is a treat
in store for you. Watch the calen-
dar next fall for their next
performance.

The group has only been or-
ganized since January of this
year. Mia Puckett '86 serves as
their business manager and pub-
lic relations person. She will be
going on to bigger and better
things; therefore, Joyful Noise is
looking for a person to continue
Mia's service to the group. If any-
one is interested, please contact
Dr. Byrnside or Ms. G.

Here's hoping some members
of the ASC community will want
to come out and make a "Joyful
Noise" with its present members.

Fuller Gives Superb Recital

On April 1, 1986 at 8:15 in Pres-
ser Hall, our own Jay Fuller gave
a superb piano recital playing
composers from the Baroque,
Classical, Romantic, and 19th-
century eras.

The first piece, Sonata in E
major, L. 23 by Domenico Scarlatti,
was spirited and exemplified great
play between the left hand and
right hand over the melody.

The classical era was rep-
resented by none other than
Wolfgang Mozart in his piece
Sonata in D major, K. 576 which
was beautifully played by Mr. Fuller.

3oth the 'Allegro" and the "Alleg-
retto" were played so fast and
lightly that it is amazing Mr. Fuller's
hands actually have bones. The
"Adagio" was equally inspiring and
did not go unnoticed.

Robert Schumann's Sym-
phonic Etudes were terrific and
did not show any areas of techni-
cal difficulty for Mr. Fuller.

Up until this point the perfor-
mance had been wonderful, but
the best was yet to come. When
Mr. Fuller played "Suite: Pour le
Piano" by Claude Debussy, the
audience was lost in a dream

that he is converting from Judaism
to Catholicism.

My only criticism of this film is
the way Allen portrays the prob-
lems of the women. Both of the
men in the film seem to be search-
ing for the right wife. This is re-
solved in the end. However, the
women's problems never seem
resolved, or even dealt with, when
the film ends. This may be in-
tended to enhance the circular
quality of the plot, but the film
seems unfinished as a result.

I would recommend this film to
anyone. Allen has artfully com-
bined his wit with a romantic and
ironic storyline and has created
memorable characters. After fif-
teen films, Allen has not lost his
touch as a writer, director, or actor.

world that Debussy often paints
with his distinctive music. Mr. Fuller's
presentation of this piece was
gorgeous and a great inspiration
to the audience.

When he ended this last piece
the audience had not had their fill
and applauded for an encore. Mr.
Fuller chose the enchanting
piece, "Young Girls in the Garden"
by Mompou. This piece had an
interesting Oriental flavor that was
particularly enjoyable. This piece
was the perfect ending to an even-
ing of fine entertainment.

Revolutionary Dreamgirls Stops At Fox

by Kimberly Baker

The cast of Dreamgirls

stopped off at the Fox Theatre
March 11-16 as part of the interna-
tional tour of the Broadway musi-
cal. The incredible performance

was revolutionary with one high-
energy musical number followed
by another.

Dreamgirls centers on a uni-
versal theme of searching for
fame but with a new twist— the
recognition of the tragedy that
can come with the journey down
the yellow brick road.

The musical tells the story of
the Dreams, a girl group from the
Sixties who fight to be accepted
in the white world of music. The
story line brings to mind the simi-
lar story of Diana Ross and the
Supremes

Sharon Brown stars as Effie
White, the powerful-voiced Dream

Lue Cinda Ramseur, Deborah Burrell, Sharon Brown, and Arnetta Walker play the dreams in Dreamgirls.

who loses her place as the lead
when the Dreams start gaining
fame and almost loses her career
after an unexpected pregnancy.
She survives to find fame as a
soloist after declaring in song,
"And I am Telling You I'm not
Going" at the end of Act I leaving
the Fox audience cheering for the
strong performance.

Deborah Burrell stars as Deena
Jones who achieves fame as the
leader of the Dreams after reluc-
tantly stepping into the spotlight
after singing backup. Arnetia
Walker is Lorrell Robinson, the
third of the original Dreams.
Luecinda Ramseur is Michelle
Morris, Effie's replacement.

Dreamgirls follows the Dreams
from their beginnings in a talent
contest to their final performance
before their breakup when Effie
and the Dreams are reunited to
sing, "Hard to Say Goodbye, My
Love." Along the way , the evolu-
tion of music was presented, from
the sweet sounds of the Sixties to
disco of the Seventies. Allusions
were made to many of the groups
of this time.

The Michael Bennett produc-
tion was packed with energy and
excitement, obviously deserving
its Grammy and Tony Awards. There
were so many song-and-dance
numbers that very often the num-
bers followed one another with no

break. The creative scene changes
often involved simply moving the
blocks of stage lights to create a
feel of being onstage and back-
stage.

The cnoreography of Michael
Peters and Michael Bennett was
incredible and explosive. The sin-
gers' voices were strong and pow-
erful, inspiring the audience to
cheer and applaud culminating in
a standing ovation from the packed
theatre.

The entire production was ex-
tremely inspiring and spine-tin-
gling. It involved the audience
which hurt, cried and cheered
along with the characters.

Unfortunately, the opening
scenes of each act were spoiled
by the rude members of the audi-
ence who insisted on entering
late disturbing the audience and
blocking the view. This critic en-
joyed the songs of the opening
scene featuring the talent contest
but wishes she could have actu-
ally seen the competition. A
theatre such as the Fox should
have a better policy for late seat-
ing, especially with the high-
caliber performances it hosts.

Even with the rude audience,
the performance was enchanting.
It is refreshing to see Broadway
recognize the talent of our black
performers by giving them major
roles and the value of popular
music by featuring it in a major
production.

B€NCH€D BV P€ D€PflRTWl€NT

by Agnes Sport

Spring is here; the weather is
beautiful; we all want to be out-
side either relaxing lazily in th
sun. or just playing. Well, the soc
cer team had the same idea. They
wanted to be outside playing soc-
cer. They wanted to practice and
they wanted to play. The physical
education department had other
ideas.

This spring, just like every other
spring in years past, the volleyball
nets were put up. and the Softball

diamond was painted. There is
simply no room for soccer. It does
not matter that the soccer players
WANTED to be out there while
nobody else did (except for the
sunbathers). The volleyball nets
are up there to stay; the students,
however, will continue to play vol-
leyball inside the gym.

I learned that several of the
soccer team players addressed
the Physical Education Depart-
ment on the issue, and they were
told "Sure you can practice and
play on the field, you just have to
do it around the metal poles,
under the volleyball nets, and

around whoever happens to be
out there playing catch. We're
sorry, but it is already in the
schedule that outdoor volleyball,
and Softball are the spring sports."

So what are the soccer players
doing? Most of them studying.
Pilar Duque joined a Dekalb
women's team called Blue United,
and plays every weekend. Pilar
and Gretchen Pfeifer went to Tal-
lahassee, Fla. the first weekend
in April to play a tournament with
the Emory women's soccer team.
From what I hear, they had a
wonderful time, and the opportu-
nity to play with a "real" soccer

team.

Pilar and Gretchen and the rest
of the Emory team left Friday
afternoon and headed south. They
arrived in Tallahassee late that
night, and had to wake up early
the next morning so they could
have breakfast well before the
game (coach's orders). They played
one game at 10:00 a.m. then they
had a couple of hours to rest, and
they then had to play another
game at 4:00 p.m. Unfortunately
they lost both games. After the
second game, everyone was tired
and ready to come home, so they
got in the van and headed back,
arriving in Atlanta around 3:00

a.m.

Pilar commented that although
both games had been lost, the
team hadn't fallen apart. On the
contrary, in the second game they
played, they were losing by four
goals after just 15 minutes of play
but they managed to come back
in the second half and get within
one goal of the other team. And
with a sad face she mentioned
that Emory is a team; every single
player is expected to attend prac-
tices as well as games if she
expects to continue on the team.
"If only that could be acomplished
at Agnes Scott..." was her parting
remark, as well as mine.

Cross Country Team Revitalized

IN BASEBALL:

The Atlanta Braves won their 1986 season opener
against the Montreal Expos by a score of 6-0.
Rick Mahler pitched a shutout, and Dale Murphy,
two times Naitonal League MVP, hit a two run
homer.

IN BASKETBALL:

The Atlanta Hawks set a new home record of 50
victories in one season when they defeated the
Indiana Pacers by a score of 108-91. In the same
game, Dominique Wilkins became the NBA top
scorer, with an average of 30.333 points per game.
It is the first time that a Hawks player wins the
title. In Saturday's game, Wilkins scored 34
points. The Hawks will now advance to the NBA
playoffs.

Back In The "Swing" Of Things

by Mary Carter Whitten

The 1985-86 school year has
witnessed a number of new club
sports programs at Agnes Scott,
the most recent of which is a
Cross Country team. Actually
begun a couple of years ago, the
team was first guided by Dean
Gue P. Hudson and Marcia Mitchell,
Secretary to the President. During
the 1984-85 school year student
interest had wanned somewhat
and the two coaches were unable
to keep up their activities because
of other committments. This year,
however, under the student-insti-
gated guidance of Mr. Bob
Thompson, the small team has
been revitalized.

Team members Amy Bailey
Sherlee Brooks, Shannon Gibbs.
Mishana Mogelnicki. and Hong
Tran run individually during the
week and corporately on either

THANKS

BLOOD

Saturdays or Sundays. The
schedule is flexible and the stu-
dents run anywhere from three to
six miles per session. Coach
Thompson described the team's
activities as "more of a fraternity
thing" where members run for en-
joyment and exercise. The most
difficult aspect of beginning such
a team, he suggested, was sched-
uling a time in which formal prac-
tice and training could be given.

Flexibility is a key factor to the
students involved because they
are involved in a variety of other
activities and because they all
pursue running for its individualis-
tic aspects. Their reasons for run-
ning, for instance, differ. "To me
running is relaxing. You can sort
of get away from things," assessed
Shannon Gibbs. Hong Tran, on
the other hand, is motivated by a
desire to "lose weight."

The flexibility of practice is not
to suggest that the team is not
serious. They train for a number

of Atlanta's road races such as the
Peachtree Road Race, the Braves
Fun Run, the Avon Road Race,
and the Heart Trek. They "run the
hills" pacing themselves by tele-
phone poles, practice running
exercises on the hockey field, and
tone up in the weight room. The
Athletic Department and Coach
are equally as dedicated provid-
ing money for entrance fees, in-
vesting in warm-up suits, and,
most importantly contributing a
sense of direction, advice, and
motivation.

Amy Bailey's reasons for run-
ning are "to keep in shape [and
because] it's theraputic. Running
helps to balance out the academic
side of school." Later in life, Coach
Thompson hopes that Amy and
other sports-minded students at
ASC will gain the added advan-
tage of being able to enjoy a
variety of athletics because of
their diversity and dilligence now.

by Jill Owens

Spring quarter means a lot of
things to a lot of different people.
To the seniors, "we're almost out!"
To the juniors, "we're almost seniors!"
And to the ASC tennis team, "we're
just beginning!"

Although the tennis team has
been working out all year and has
already played numerous matches,
the critical time of the season is

just around the corner. April is an
important month to practice and
get ready for the district cham-
pionships in St. Augustine, Fla.
the first weekend in May.

After spring break, the team got
right back into their intercollegiate
match schedule. It wasn't easy to
come back on the courts, and Agnes
Scott lost two of their three spring
quarter openers. The losses came
at the hands of Shorter College,
and Tift College. Mary Margaret
Krauth won both her singles and

doubles, in both matches. She
teamed with Mitrina Mogelnicki to
defeat the Shorter team 4-6, 7-5,
6-3; and with Katie MacMillan
against Tift for a 6-3, 6-4 victory.
Other winners against Tift were
Mitrina Mogelnicki and Ellen
Jones with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 doubles
win.

Of the three home matches, the
one victory was a 9-0 sweep over
Young Harris. Agnes Scott was in
top form winning the match with-
out loosing even one set.

delivered the key note address,
"William Shakespeare, the Late
Great Southerner,'* in honor of the
427th anniverary of Shakespeare's
birth. The speech outlined the
similarities between southern
dialect untainted by modern televi-
sion and Elizabethan English.

Dr. Ball concluded, "the south-
ern language deserves distinction

before tv puts it into a dictionary
of archaisms."

After the address, Diane Bond,
assistant professor of English, an-
nounced the new Phi Beta Kappa
members. They were seniors
Sonny Burns, Barbara Caulk,
Noel Durham, Nancy Hardy, Amy
Hutchinson, Andrea Morris, Holly
Rogers and Karla Vaugn.

Agnes Scott owns the distiction
of being the second institition of
higher learning in the state of
Georgia which only has four chap-
ters.

As of this year, Agnes Scott's
Phi Beta Kappa lectureship, dedi-
cated by the late Dr. W. Edwin
McNair, ranks the largest of Phi
Beta Kappa lectureships in the
nation.

Agnes Scott held its annual
Writers' Festival which featured
Denise Levertov, Andrew Lytle,
and Meyme Curtis Tucker on
Wednesday, April 16.

First on the list of activities was
a morning reading by Andrew
Lytle. A fiction writer, teacher, and
critic, Mr. Lytle entertained the
audience by reading one of his
short stories. "Jericho, Jericho,
Jericho." The author of several
books, he has taught American
history. English and American lit-
erature, and creative writing at the
University of the South (where he
edited the Sewanee Review.)
University of Iowa, University of
Florida, Harvard University and
others.

Next on the agenda was a panel
discussion of student work. Ms.
Levertov. Mr. Lytle. and Ms. Tucker
critically reviewed poetry and
short stories that had been previ-
ously submitted to the Writers
Festival. The panel of writers
chose the best short story and
poetry to be awarded that eve-
ning. Ms. Tucker has been in-
volved with the festival before
while she was a teacher at Agnes
Scott. Her poetry has appeared in
Southern Poetry Review,
"Southern Humanities Review"
and "The Chattahoochee Review."

The highlight of the festival was

an evening reading by Denise
Levertov. Born in England.
Levertov moved to the United
States when she married an
American. According to critic
James Wright, Levertov has long
been considered "one of the best
living poets in America." She has
taught at Vassar, the City College
in New York City.and the Univer-
sity of California at Berkeley
among others. Her honors include
the Guggenheim Fellowship and
a grant from the National Institute
of Arts and Letters. Levertov attri-
butes much of her success as a
poet to being educated at home
as a child, where her creativity
was nnt hindered.

Levertov began her presenta-
tion by reading poems from Denise

Meyme Tucker

Levertov Poems 1960-1967 be-
cause many students at Agnes
Scott had studied this collection.
Many of her poems reflect her
dedication to controversial issues
such as the Vietnam crisis and
war in general. Levertov was in-
volved in peace movements in the
sixties and is now active- in the
anti-nuclear movement in the
U.S. She related the Libyan crisis
to her poem "Life at War," and
even dedicated "Of Necessity*' to
Khaddafi's youngest child. She
also shared with the audience
some of her newest poems that
should be published within the
year. At the end of Levertov's
presentation, Dr. Pinka presented
prizes to the outstanding works
by Writers' Festival participants.

SAR'S Help Admissions
Successful Weekend

by Trudy Smith

The ASC Admissions office has
been very busy this quarter plan-
ning Kaleidoscope Weekend and
keeping in touch with interested
high school students. At any time
of the school day, staff members
and their student aides are calling
and writing prospectives. SAR's
also phone prospectives every
Monday and Wednesday from
4:00 to 6:00 and help plan and
carry off Kaleidoscope with the
Admissions Office.

This spring event has been their
most recent success. Agnes Scott
welcomed fifty new faces to the
campus Thusday April 10 and Fri-
day April 11. Kaleidoscope is a
prospective event for those who
have appiled to Agnes Scott. Girls
arrived from many different cities
and states on Thursday after-
noon. The visitors first attended
an Orientation session led by

Ruth Vedvik. Next came a picnic
on the terrace dining area com-
plete with live entertainment from
the guitar strings of singer Tom
Wolf.

Following the bluegrass event
was the Agnes Scott tour of
homes. Th'3 guests were taken to
dorm rooms in Inman. Winship,
and Walters were they got an
opportunity to observe and actu-
ally size up the room. The Admis-
sions office had tape measures in
hand so that they could measure
windows. Following this, many of
the girls heard our Glee Club
perform. On Friday morning many
awakened very early to hear stu-
dents and alumnae discuss in-
ternships and jobs. Next, the stu-
dents were able to attend college
classes and meet with faculty ad-
visors and senior counselors.
After lunch they prepared to go
home. The Admissions office felt
it was a great success and once
again their hard work paid off.
Thanks to all who helped it was a
job well done.

TO THE POINT

by Elizabeth Mullis

When I was in high school I had the fortunate luxury of access
to a very good guidance department. I was able to discuss my
needs and desires for a college, and under my counselor's guidance
I chose Agnes Scott. (Though sometimes like today when I have
two midterms to study for, a deadline to meet, a play rehearsal to
attend, and no date to Spring Formal, I have a few choice words
for my counselor's words of wisdom.)

My point is this, as I find myself at a similar crossroad in my
college career as I was four years ago in high school, there is no
Agnes Scott counterpart to my high school guidance department.
And this I see as a big problem.

Agnes Scott is in dire need of a graduate studies adviser. While
I recognize the existence of our medical and law advisory commit-
tees, I see a distinct need for a broader based advisory program
for all graduate pursuits.

Thank goodness I already have a nice job situation to go to when
I graduate because otherwise I would be at a tremendous loss as
to where to go. I mean, where does a history major with mediocre
grades and limited funds go to graduate school? Would an admis-
sions board roll on the floor in violent fits of hysterical laughter when
I submit an application? Could I even get into anywhere at all?

And the answer to this is not. heaven forbid, another faculty
committee. (When Agnes Scott created a Committee on Commit-
tees, I knew things were going a bit too far.) We need a budgeted
position not unlike our new Global Awareness Director whose sole
job is to keep abreast of graduate programs of all sorts that would
be of value to Agnes Scott students.

I encourage anyone who agrees with me to respond by writing
a letter to the editor and by contacting President Schmidt or Dean
Hall. I especially encourage freshmen to respond because in two
years you will be in my same wistful position, but if you speak now.
things may change in time to benefit you.

Smoke Salmon, Not Libya

by Sarah Jewett

We've done it! Single-handedly
bombed terrorist targets in Libya.
It's about time we exhibited mili-
tary force to that terrorist creep in
the Middle East. We showed the
world that the United States is not
just a lethargic giant lacking in
mobility and force.

According to a Time poll, 71%
of those questioned supported
Reagan's action. Radio stations
played ego-building pro-USA
songs throughout the day follow-
ing the Libya attack. Calls
swamped the White House con-
gratulating the President on his
latest on his decisive foreign policy.

Well? I can't help but question

the thought processes of Ameri-
can mind and I can't help but
disagree with the majority of the
nation. I believe that the bombing
of terrorist cites in Libya is a very
surface response to an incredibly
complex issue of turmoil in the
Middle East. This aggressive un-
dertaking of Reagan will merit two
inevitable consequences— a vio-
lent war-like response as
threatened by various Libyan
radio-stations and an increase in
terrorism. Currently, the latter has
proved to be true. Three Western
hostages were murdered and left
in the Chouf Mountains east of
Beirut. The gunmen left a state-
ment indicating that the murder of
the hostages was in retaliation to
the attack on Libya. A communica-
tions officer in the U.S. embassy

to the Sudan was shot in the
head, leaving him partially
paralyzed. In the Heathrow Air-
port in London, a bomb was disco-
vered in a suitcase. Fortunately
the bomb was discovered prior to
the boarding of the flight.

The bombing and subsequent
destruction will increase the anti-
American sentiment in the Middle
East and may act as a unifying
factor for these forces. The bomb-
ing has put a dent in our relations
with our European allies. Euro-
pean leaders Craxi, Gonzalez,
Kohl, and Mitterand did not sup-
port Reagan's action. Russia has
called off a meeting with the U.S.
as a result of the violence. Viet-
nam has refused any further dis-
cussion on the release of POW's.

Our foreign policy has conse-

quences in all aspects of life.

This event has caused the nu-
clear threat to loom a little closer
over our heads. The Middle East
may not have nuclear arms now,
it is not inconceivable that they
could create their own or obtain
them through some unknown
channel. The potential of the atom
can destroy the potential for
peace. Many may scoff at the
nuclear threat which just goes to
show that Americans are no
longer stunned by our terrifying
ability to destroy the world. It is
crucial not to incite war in the
nuclear age. Not only has Reagan
incited war with his show of force
in the Gulf of Sidra and the recent
bombings, but through his poor

method of personal interaction.
He has resorted to calling Gaddaffi

names such as "flakey" and a
"mad dog".

I do not have an easy answer
to the burdensome weight of ter-
rorism but I strongly believe that
violence is not the answer. It is a
problem that will require the unifi-
cation of the Western allies and
rational thought in the pursuit of
peace. Sting, in his release The
Dream of the Blue Turtles, sings,
"There's no monopoly of common
sense on either side of the political
fence." He was referring to our
relations with Russia, but I think
it is applicable here. Political bar-
riers need to be broken down in
an effort to bring peace. I invite
everyone to start looking around
at the events of today that are
shaping our world of tomorrow.

Juror For A Day

by Beverly Garcia

Have you ever served on a
jury'? As a citizen this is one of the
most important duties that one
could do besides voting and pay-
ing taxes. Both students on the
high school and college level are
able to participate on jury duty
through mock trials presented by

"Some (participants)
were first year stu-
dents while others
were practicing
attorneys returning
to Law School for
theiradvanced law
degrees or LLM."

law school students. On Saturday
April 19 Emory Law School held
mock trials which were put to-
gether after many months of prep-
aration by their own law school
students. Some were first year
students while others were prac-
ticing attorneys returning to law
school for their advanced law de-
grees or LLM.

Agnes Scott students partici-
pating as jurors were Sherlee
Brooks, Gretchen Pfeiffer, Kat-
hryn Smith and Beverly Garcia.

The morning began early Satur-
day and after informally selecting
small groups of six or more to
hear a case the mock trials got
underway. The particular trial
which ASC students participated
in was a civil case. All trials taking
place that morning were real trials
some of which were still awaiting
verdict by the real jurors. This civil
case involved the plaintiff: World
Oil and the defendants: Northeast
Shipbuilding Co. and Toiler Sal-
vage, a ship salvaging operation.
On the spring of 1983 World Oil
was transporting tons of oil
through the African coast in what
most would call the largest ship
in the world, the JB John build by
the Northeast Co. In the midst of
a severe storm the JB John lost
its steering system. Since the en-
gineers on board could not fix this
problem World Oil called the Toiler
Salvage Co. but they could not
help due to the fact that their
salvaging ship was too small to
steer the JB John. Ultimately the
JB John crashed against the
coastline, sinking into the ocean
and killing four of its crew mem-
bers and spilling tons of oil along
the coastline of Africa causing
millions of dollars worth of dam-
age. Because of this World Oil
brought charges against North-
east for building a faulty steering
system and Toiler Salvage for
being more or less incompetent.

The case was brought forth by
the students with much ease mak-
ing it evident that they had spent
many months researching and re-
viewing. An Atlanta attorney
served as judge for the days trial
These students faced much pres
sure throughout the day since
they were also being graded for
their individual performance.

"All trials taking
place that morning
were real trials,
some of which were
still awaiting verdict
by the real jurors."

Though the case was too com-
plicated to explain in great detail
the jury deliberated for an hour
and came to the verdict of dividing
the money which World Oil was
suing for among all three parties
involved.

The mock trials are a good
experience for anyone interested
in pursuing law school and a
career in law in particular. The
only considerable difference of
this trial was that because it was
a bit less informal the law students
were able to be present and hear
the jury deliberate upon a verdict.
This to them meant a valuable
learning experience by which they
gained insight and constructive
criticism.

Thought Our Honor
System Was Strict?

Charlottesville, Va. - (I. P.)

A new University of Virginia
group, Students for a Community
of Trust, is currently attempting to
replace the Honor System's single
sanction of permanent expulsion
with a one-year suspension for
the first offense and permanent
expulsion for the second.

Honor advisor John T. Fisher
said that his personal experience
with the system and recent polls
on campus led him to believe the
controversial sanction issue has
to be addressed to make the sys-
tem "more effective and more fair."

Committee Chairperson Glynn
Key said that most problems
people have with the honor sys-
tem relate to the current sanction.
Calling the present sanction "arbi-

trary," she said that it causes fac-
ulty to impose their own discipli-
nary measures and makes stu-
dents unwilling to investigate a
case or deliver a guilty verdict.

The proposal changes Article II
of the constitution to "exclude for
one full calendar year for the first
violation, and permanently for the
second violation, from student
status. University students found
to have committed honor viola-
tions." It also would change the
constitution's definition of the seri-
ousness criteria needed for con-
viction from "serious enough to
warrant permanent dismissal" to
"serious enough to warrant exclu-
sion from student status for one
full calendar year."

Chem. Workshop

Career Corner

The College-University Re-
source Institute (CURI), which is
a non profit organization sup-
ported by The Association for Af-
filiated College and University Of-
fices (AACUO), together with five
colleges (St. Catherine, Mount
Holyoke, Skidmore, Sweet Briar,
and The New Jersey Institute of
Technology) have recently con-
ducted the Second Workshop on
Women in Chemistry. The work-
shop was designed to encourage
women of talent majoring in
chemistry to pursue a doctoral
degree, and was sponsored by
various companies and founda-
tions, such as The American
Cyanamid Co., Amoco Founda-
tion, The Camille and Henry
Dreyfus Foundation, Pfizer Inc.,
Sandoz Corporation, and Tandy
Corporation.

The CURI consortium invited
ASC to participate in the work-
shop, which was held at the Du-
pont Plaza Hotel, in Washington,
D.C., on April 7. Margaret Hamm,
a junior majoring in chemistry,

was sponsored by the Student
Government Association, and
Beatriz Cardelino, assistant pro-
fessor of physical chemistry, was
supported through the Profes-
sional Development, to represent
ASC in this meeting.

The workshop consisted of a
presentation given by guest
speakers from industry, govern-
ment, and academia, organized
into four panels, followed by dis-
cussions. A "student" panel dis-
cussed "Interests and Concerns
When a Woman is Considering a
Career in Chemistry"; an "indus-
try" panel discussed "What does
industry have to offer? What
should we offer to the industry?";
a "career and training" panel pre-
sented the topic "Preparing for a
Career in Chemistry"; and finally,
a miscellaneous panel explained
"Chemistry: A Variety of Applica-
tions".

The meeting was initiated with
an overview on the situation of the
market for chemists (with BS, MS, vationists.

and Ph.D degrees, both men and
women) based on data from the
College Placement Council and
the American Chemical Society.
At all levels, but particularly for
women with a Ph.D., the future
seems extremely promising. In
particular, industry offers a wide
variety of possibilities for re-
search, in management, and in
marketing and sales. This view
was amply substantiated by the
talks given by the speakers of the
"industry" panel. Many concerns
and points-of-view related to stu-
dent issues were discussed dur-
ing the presentations of the "stu-
dent" panel which were highlighted
by the opinions of graduate stu-
dents that were participating in
the workshop. An interesting and
challenging perspective for
chemists willing to go to academia
was presented by the "career and
training panel", and the meeting
was closed with very surprising
talks given by chemists working
in the FBI and as museum conser-

Statistics of interest from the
April 1986 Cam Report: In na-
tional Michigan State University
survey, it was found that job out-
looks are looking better in many
career areas. Education moved
up into the top 10 highest demand
fields for the first time in a decade,
with a 1.9 percent increase. De-
mand remains high for minorities
and women, with quotas expected
to rise 6.4 percent for minorities,
and 4.7 percent for women.

Cochran To Take Leave

As part of Agnes Scott's 1986
global awareness program, this
summer sociology professor Connie
Jones and history professor
Penny Campbell will be leading a
study and travel program for
A.S.C. students in India. Fifteen
students are a part of this venture,
which will depart Atlanta on June
11 and return on July 19. Students
will receive credit in both history
and sociology as a part of the
program.

The summer will begin in Bom-
bay, where for three weeks stu-
dents will hear lectures by Indian
speakers and professors on a
range of topics from. "Indian Gov-
ernment Today", to "Buddhism
and Neo-Buddhism". The after-
noons will be spent on field trips
to museums, schools, temples,
and a variety of other places.
Students will also study in Madras
for a week. The last two weeks
will be spent traveling through
India and visiting Varanas. Agra,
Jaipur, Delhi, and Srinigar.

The summer promises excite-
ment and a unique learning oppor-
tunity. Dr. Jones and Dr. Campbell
have been to India previously,
both for travel and study, and
have worked extensively with con-
tacts in India to arrange the
schedule for Agnes Scott Stu-
dents. Students going on the trip
range from Freshman to Return
to College students with a diver-
sity in both majors and interests.
As a part of this "passage to India"
I am personally very excited to be
visiting a culture so different from
my own.

What is Dr. Gus Cochran really
doing on his sabbatical 9 "I hope
to hide from Agnes Scott and my
two children," laughs Dr. Cochran.

The actual purpose of his sab-
batical is to explore the effects of
the democratizing of work on
the political structure. Dr. Cochran
feels a person may not be as
effective a leader as she or he
could be if that person spends
most of his/her time taking orders
working for someone else.

"People need responsibilities in
everyday life." said Cochran. Giv-
ng more responsibilities to the
workers will not only increase pro-
ductivity, but also function to make
the democracy more productive.

There have been experiments
on a small scale usually in the
form of co-ops and corporate re-
forms. A person can't be
sovereign one day and a more
worker all other days and be a
good "boss" In a democracy. "My
question is: Is there potential to
expand these ideas and can these
experiments be part of a changing
society 9 The examples are prom-
ising!" Dr Cochran saio.

Dr. Gus Cochran prepares for class

The perspective usually taken
on this is an economic one: How
does this effect productivity and
eventually the economy. The poli-
tical ramifications are forgotten.

Some of his goals include pub-
lishing a literary review and also
a bibliographic essay on eco-
nomic democrazation. This know-

ledge will be spread to the Agnes
Scott campus in general in the
form of course curriculum addi-
tions specifically in Democratic
Theory. Working, the topic classes
in Political Science and some Eco-
nomic classes.

"I also hope to read a book all
the way through," he confides.

TH€ issue

Are the days of sipping mint julips on the front porch on muggy summer afternoons and accents as sweet as molasses gone
with the wind? Is the South of the 1980's a homogenous part of the melting pot United States? Five writers approach the
existence of Southern distinctions as they have evolved and continue to develop. It seems that stereotypes are not breaking
but rather are adjusting themselves to the changing times.

Southern Belle

by Julie E. Huffaker

I'm sure we all have our own
picture of what a Southern lady
is. Is she like Scarlett? Is she like
Rosalynn Carter, Margaret Mitch-
ell? Is she like Coretta Scott King?
Well now, granted they are all
Southern Ladies, but what is the
Southern lady of the past really
like, and the Southern lady of the
now, and what will the Southern
lady of the future be like?

The Southern lady of the past
was always very dignified, poised
and correct. Much like our Victo-
rian ancestors. She gave lawn
parties, had beautiful gardens,
and always dressed to perfection.

The Southern lady of the past
never voiced her opinions, never
showed her anger, and never,
never, never used profanity. She
was taught to respect her elders,
to go to church, and to speak with
the utmost clarity and precision.

The ladies of the past were
always virgins until their wedding
night, when their husbands were
to "teach" them about love. They
never discussed "women prob-
lems" amongst the company of
men, least of all the man or men
who were courting them.

The women of the past were
nearly always married by the time
they were seventeen, and even
younger occasionally. Love was
not a question in the subject of
marriage. If you learned to love
your husband, great! Primarily,
though, your marriage was for
political purposes, to join feuding
families, to enlarge grandiose es-
tates, or to just take the extra
expense of you living in the home
off of your parents.

Now days, the women of today
aren't much different, with the ex-
ception of a few minor details. The
Southern women of today are "al-
ways so polite, and... submissive"
according to Julie Hartline of
"Allbenny," Georgia.

Unconcerned
with politics and
serious subjects

It seems that the purpose of
going to college, for the true
Southern woman is to find a hus-
band however, according to
Kimberly Baker, if you learn any-
thing while you are there, you
can't use it. You are supposed to
be rather bland, un-opinionated.
and just pretty, nothing else. Intel-
ligence scares the Southern male,
so they say.

Women of the South are "soft
spoken... unconcerned with poli-
tics and serious subjects" such as
school, and world crises, says
Rebecca Bradley.

Yes, Ma'am. No. Sir. Please.
Thank you. These are all just part

of the "code of the South." Your
mother taught it to you, em-
phasized it while you were grow-
ing up, and now it is just part of
your vocabulary. "It's not that they
are insincere... I really think South-
ern ladies mean it," says Rebecca.

Good Southern ladies "don't
waitress in a place that serves
alcohol," at least that's what Julie's
mother told her. Good girls were
cheerleaders, pom pom girls,
beauty contestants, and so on.

To Lisa Gugino it seems that
getting in the right sorority at UGA
can make the difference for a true
Southern lady, and she would
know being from Athens, Georgia.

Lisa says that "its not who you
are, it's who owns you," who are
you pinned, engaged, or married
to. Kimberly agrees with her. She
says "I think Southern women are
on display... they are just some-
body's wife." They are allowed to
be in Junior League, Charity
League and be a debutante, how-
ever, anything more serious than
that is taboo.

Southern women
are on display . . .
they are just
somebody's wife.

Rebecca feels that because of
the Civil War, we have become so
secluded in the South that we
tend to hold onto old traditions.
They are "inherited in the South-
ern Lady." Kimberly says "Yeah,
its important for 'real' Southern
ladies to go to the same school
their parents did and to get in the
same sorority their parents did."

Well, now we all know that there
aren't quite as many of those type
of Southern ladies around as
there used to be. (Dunwoody is
the exception, they are quite over-
populated with Southern Belles...)
The people we see here at Agnes
Scott are, for the most part, ambiti-
ous job seekers, rather than hus-
band seekers. "I didn't come to a
women's college to find a hus-
band..." says Julie.

The women at Agnes Scott are
concerned with serious subjects,
we do have our own opinions, and
we do feel free to express them.
People "outside" take us seri-
ously, because they know that we
would not be here educating our-
selves if we did not care about
what goes on out in the world.

It seems that Southern women
are gaining perspective on the
world. Southern women have now
been exposed to other women,
women who were and are not
always docile and unopinionated.
Southern women are and will con-
tinue to gain respect and presi-
dence in a man's world.

"Just don't take up a Southern
accent," Julie says, while it may
be cute, "people tend to loose
respect for you, because they
think you don't know anything."
(sign language anyone?)

Education

by Lisa Gugino

Distinguishing what constitutes
a southern education is no easy
task. However, by comparing the
Northern system with our own
some constants can be drawn.
Historically speaking, the South
has had different circumstances
to deal with than the North, prima-
rily the racial issue. Professor
Gignilliat in the History Depart-
ment says, "The South was
slower to accept responsibility for
public education. This lack of re-
sponsibility was due in large part
to the poverty of the south and its
insistence on a dual school sys-
tem, which was very expensive."
Integration of the southern school
systems was so slow in coming
that the quality of education was
often compromised upon for the
greater goal of equal education.
Many of the southern students
interviewed still felt that their
former High Schools spent a large
amount of time dealing with racial
issues and attempting to fill
quotas rather than concentrating
on improving existing educational
programs.

Aside from a distinctive histori-
cal background, southern educa-
tional systems can be charac-
terized by attitudinal differences.
It appears that many of the sys-
tem's shortcomings are a result of
these attitudes. Karen Youngner
feels that "the administrators of
southern schools do not listen to
the needs of the student body, at
least mine did not." Lauren,
Karen's roommate, piped in, "the
reason why is because for the
most part they are incompetent;
heck, my principle was a football
coach who always supported the
athletic events and never the cul-
tural and artistic events that made
our school standout." The com-
plaints seem to point to an attitude
of indifference among southern
educators. Lauren further pointed
out that the administrators of her
school enjoyed boasting about
the school's great reputation but
they did so without even knowing
why they were considered an out-
standing school.

Religion

by Vee Kimbrell and Mary Ruth
Oliver

To many people who live in the
"Bible Belt" and have for many
years, religion plays an important
part in their way of life. Even as
the times change and more
people have liberated ideas, the
strong religious commitment is
still popular. Religion "down
South" is not something that is
easily taken for granted, but an
aspect of the community that influ-
ences many political, personal,
and social decisions.

After speaking to many stu-
dents with very different religious
beliefs, the main opinion about
religion in the South was that
there are more Southern Baptists
here than any other denomina-
tion. To some extent this is true;
however, they are not the only
religious group here on campus.
They are of course the most out-
spoken because they feel free to
express their beliefs. To those
people who have never lived in
the South, this attitude seems a
little outdated, but those who live
here do not see it as such. These
people consider the ideas of other
areas and realize that their own

Religion "down
South" is not
something that
is easily taken
for granted . . .

ideas are not as popular as they
were in the past, but they believe
in them; therefore, they seldom
have a major change in viewpoint!
concerning religion. For example,
the Blue Laws are still very much
a part of the Southern way of life
even though many Northern and
Western states have abandoned
these "old-fashioned" ideas. One
main reason why they are still
effective is because of the strong
influence Southern churches
have over political issues. It is
important to reaiize that such in-
volvement by the churches is not
intended to be integration of
Church and State. Southern
churches do not want to force
anyone to believe the way they
do; rather, they want to preserve
the quality lifestyle to which they
are accustomed.

Besides the involvement the
church has in political affairs, reli-
gion is also visible in the social
aspect of the Southern lifestyle.
For instance, in many small south-
ern towns, church is the only out-
let for social activity. Where there
is no theater, no bowling alley, no
cultural centers, and no night
clubs, there is church. And yes,
there are many such towns all
over the South. In such a town, it
is not unusual for someone from
a particular church (or more than
one) to call upon new people in
town to encourage them to attend.
Whereas in other parts of the
nation it is abnormal to attend
church regularly, in the South it is
abnormal not to do so.

These days, it is very easy to
stray from a religion if you are not
a firm believer. However, here in
the South more people tend to
rely on their religious beliefs to get
them through each day. Going to
church is not just a leisure way to
spend a Sunday afternoon, but it
is a daily part of the Southern
lifestyle.

Culture Shock s

by Aimee Peeples

Although Agnes Scott is pre-
dominantly southern, there are a
few students in attendance that
are from the north. In traveling
these few hundred miles, more is
experienced than simply the
warmer climate and humidity. In
fact, there is a type of culture
shock involved. The difference be-
tween the North and South may
seem like an outdated contrasting
topic, yet the differences are
clearly felt by the northern stu-
dents. Sarah Jewett who is from
New York and now living in Mary-
land expressed that the friendli-
ness of the people in the South
impressed her the most. The
basis of meeting complete stran-
gers is more common and accept-
able in the South than it is in the
North.

The myths that preside in the
North about Southern culture
were also expressed by Sarah.
She recalls the South as being
"stereotypically elite, holding tea
parties, and a place where women
are more contained to a social
scene than a career." Obviously
these myths hold little truth and
are proven wrong once the South
is experienced; yet they are still
believed by people in the North.
The shock experienced seems to
be caused by the lack of know-
ledge that the North has about the
South.

On the other hand, Gretchen
Pfeifer thinks that it is not so much
"lack of knowledge as it is experi-
ence." One needs to experience
the South in order to understand
and relate to the Southerners.
Experience is what Gretchen did
not have when she first trans-
ferred from Rutgers University in
New Jersey to Agnes Scott. She
humorously recalls one of her first
experiences of the South. "All of
my friends would ask me if I
wanted to go Krogering and it
would always be a nighttime
event. I kept saying 'NO' and they
would just take off. Later on I
found out that Krogering meant to
go grocery shopping. All along I
thought they had been asking me
to go drinking!"

Stereotypically
elite, holding
tea parties, . . .

The lingo in the South is much
more descriptive with catchy
phrases that easily confuse a
Northerner. Phrases such as; "talk
at ya' later," "I should backhand
you," "I'm fixin' to." "quit bustin' on
me." are just a few that hold little
meaning if any for a Northerner.
However, these phrases that once
meant little soon become part of

(shock cont. pg. 8)

PAGE 8 • THE PROFILE • FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1986 • FEATURES

Shock, cont.

the northern students" vocabulary.
Gretchen says that "you can tell
a true Southerner by the way they
refer to everything as Coke. They
are Coke machines, not soda
machines. The northern phrase
"Lets go get a pop" is identical to
the southern phrase "Lets go get
a Coke." even if it is Tab that they
really want!

Experiencing southern cooking
is the next shock that the Northern
students encounter. To a North-
erner, southern food in itself is a
shock not to mention the
cafeteria's version of southern
food. Gretchen said that during
her freshman year she "felt like
she ate chicken four days a week
twice a day. My roommate and I
made a list of seventy-two differ-
ent chicken dishes we experi-
enced at A.S.C."

Stacey Ackerman. a freshman
from the Chicago area, recalls
that the "laid back attitude and
cleanliness of the city" were the
most impressive to her. She also
says that she is still trying to get
used to all of the fried green
tomatoes and grits that people
eat in the South. Stacey and Amy
Hutchinson both had recollections
of not knowing what the difference
between a "red-neck, a hick, and
a Southerner" was. To the North-
erners they all sound the same
and the prejudice between them
is not understood by the Nor-
therners. Trouble is definitely
created when a Northerner calls
a southern man with a truck a
"red-neck." As they say here in the
South, "Those are fightin' words."

72 different
chicken dishes . . .

and grits

In coming to Agnes Scott, the
Northerners not only experienced
the shock of going to college, but
also the shock of entering a new
culture. The adjustment is rapid
and the attitudes of the northern
students towards the South are
predominantly positive ones.

When asked what the students
missed most about the North their
reply was slow and unsure. The
few replies given however, were
all the same;"the fast pace of the
North." Besides this, the northern
culture shock has subsided and
the students seem "right-down
contented" with life in the South.

Education, cont.

A lack of appropriate funding
also plagues the southern school
system. This more than anything
else has hurt the quality of the
Souths institutions. A change of
attitude, however has occurred in
the state of Georgia. Governor
Joe Frank Harris, in response to
Georgia's poor ranking among the
nation's school systems, pro-
posed and passed a comprehen-
sive Quality Basic Education Act,
increasing funding 30 percent
over last year's funding. This is
more than twice the largest in-
crease over the past 25 years.

Southern belle
complex still
present

Most notable are the social at-
titudes within the southern educa-
tional systems. Interviews con-
ducted concerning the social at-
titudes seem to reveal that the
southern belle complex is still pre-
sent and pertinent. Patricia Roy,
an Agnes Scott student, gave her
experience, "If you got good
grades in my southern high
school you were ostracized, espe-
cially if you were a girl." She
recounted an incident when a
male friend of hers, spoke for a
large majority of the class saying,
"if you are an intelligent girl and
you vocalize that intelligence you
are looked upon as being overly
showy and out of place." Julie
Hartline reinforced this reoccuring
idea when she said, "In my high-
school in Albany education for
white middle-class males was
stressed. Girls of high intelligence
were rarely dated. The attitude I
ran into was, who wants to date
a girl that scores higher than I do
on Latin tests 9 "

The most appalling example of
an attitudinal difference toward
the southern school system came
from Mary Carter Whitten who
said, "in my hometown of Lynch-
burg, Virginia the enrollment at
the private girls school was less
than the private boys school partly
because many of the families felt
hat it was more important to give
(heir boys the best education pos-
sible whereas the girls could get
by with a less superior education."

Get your degrees
so that your
marriages will
be equal
partnerships

This old-fashion southern idea
that a woman does not "need" an
education as much as a man is
quickly being replaced, however,
in some southern school systems
this outmoded idea remains.

Florence King, the humorous
author of Southern Ladies and
Gentleman and Confessions of
a Failed Southern Lady jokingly
related her experience in a south-
ern university during a convoca-
tion in which the President said,
"A wife has to entertain her hus-
band's business associates. How
is she going to do that if she isn't
well educated? She's got to be
able to talk to her husband intelli-
gently, to meet him on his own
level. As a future wife she's got to
help her husband get along. You
girls get your degrees so that your
marriages will be equal partner-
ships!" Most will agree that this
extreme attitude no longer exists.

The future of southern educa-
tion is bright. Extreme poverty
and racial problems that once af-
fected education are being dealt
with and eliminated. Funds for
education are becoming a higher
priority in state budgets around
the South. Distinctive southern
attitudes do remain, however
more realistic attitudes are evolv-
ing towards educating women to
their fullest potential.

Cigarette packages already
carry several warnings about the
health hazards from smoking. If
new research proves conclusive
there might be need for one
more— "Warning: radiation in
cigarettes can lead to cancer."

According to the March
Reader's Digest, cigarettes con-
tain so much radioactivity that a
pack-and-a-half-per-day
smoker gets a yearly dose of
radiation in parts of his lungs
equal to what his skin would be
exposed to in about 300 chest
x-rays.

Although the experts are not
sure of the extent of the health
risks, Dr. Joseph R. DiFranza of
the University of Massachusetts
Medical Center believes that "radi-
ation alone could account for
about half of all lung cancers in
smokers."

Scientists have traced radiation
in cigarettes to the fields where
tobacco is grown. For many dec-
ades, farmers have fertilized to-
bacco crops with phosphates rich
in uranium. By decay, this uranium
generates radium-226, which in
turn spawns radon-222, and
eventually lead-210. Tobacco
plants readily absorb radioactive
elements from the fertilizer and
from naturally occurring sources

in the soil, air and water.

Ultimately the radiation is in-
haled deep inside a smokers
lungs. As a smoker consumes
cigarette after cigarette, insoluble
particles incorporating radioactive
isotopes may be deposited at the
same point in the lungs.

According to Edward A. Martell,
a specialist in radiochemistry at
the National Center for Atmos-
pheric Research, these points be-
come "hot spots" of radioactivity.
Martell believes it is no coinci-
dence that most lung cancers
begin at these branch points
where radioactive debris gathers.

Unfortunately it is not just smok-
ers alone who are at risk from
radiation in cigarettes. Reader's
Digest reports that at least 50
percent of the radioactive
isotopes from cigarette smoke
wind up in the air, and a smaller
percentage of this and other ele-
ments in the smoke are inhaled
by those around the smoker.

Takeshi Hirayama of the Insti-
tute of Preventive Oncology in

The annual faculty art exhibit is now on display in the Dalton Art Gallery located in the lobby of

Leonard Staven.

Atlanta Rep. Opera
Performs At ASC

ATLANTA. GA. — Even though
her performing career included
many triumphs on both stage and
screen. Vivian Leigh will always
be remembered and revered for
one portrayal above all others. To
millions worldwide she is Scarlett
O'Hara. the often charming,
sometimes vindictive Southern
belle who caused disruption sec-
ondary only to Sherman's invad-
ing troops in the 1939 film version
of Margaret Mitchell's "GONE
WITH THE WIND."

Ironic as it may seen, portions
of Vivian Leigh's life almost paral-
leled that of Scarlett's, with many
peaks and valleys throughout. As
an actress she possessed the
power to explode with emotions,
totally captivating her audience
with her dynamic presence.
Beyond the entertainment world,
though, her life was quite different.
Her anti-depressant nature,
coupled with her stormy love affair
with the celebrated Lawrence
Olivier created a life of shifting
emotions that would tragically end
at age 54 on July 7. 1967.

This final night in the great ac-
tress' life is the setting for a special
one-woman performance, "VIVIAN
LEIGH: A PORTRAIT" which is
scheduled for a World Premiere
engagement from Tuesday. May
13 through Sunday. May 18 at the
Alliance Studio Theater. Jane
Merrow will portray the some-
times exuberant, sometimes
traumatic star, who reveals her life
in true thespian style. Written by
Meade Roberts, this Beverly Karp
- Herbert Hurwitz production will
be directed by Gillian Eaton.

"Herbert Hurwitz and I are both
elated that Atlanta is the World
Premiere site for 'VIVIAN LEIGH:
A PORTRAIT'." stated co- pro-

ducer Beverly Karp. "Our only re-
gret is that we're limited to a six
day engagement, with only 200
seats available in the Studio per
performance. This selection of
theater locales is due to the fact
that we desire an intimate atmos-
phere for our production; we want
our audience to really feel that
they are with Vivian."

Of British descent. Jane Merrow
received her formal education at
the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Arts. Her career has since
flourished on both continents, in-
cluding starring performances on
stage, screen and television with
such notables as Peter OToole.
Katherine Hepburn, Roger
Moore, Beau Bridges, Glenda
Jackson and William Shatner. Ms
Merrow received international
acclaim for her role as the young
lover in "THE LION IN WINTER."
from which she was nominated
for a Golden Globe Award as Best
Supporting Actress in 1972.

Playwright Meade Roberts is
also no stranger to the entertain-
ment industry. As a playwright, his
credits include "THORNHILL" (di-
rected by John Cassavetes) and
"A PALM TREE IN A ROSE GAR-
DEN." starring Jane Alexander.
Mr. Roberts' motion picture credits
are also quite impressive, includ-
ing his collaboration with Tennessee
Williams on "THE FUGITIVE
KIND," the cult favorite "BLUE,"
and the Joanne Woodward starrer
"THE STRIPPER." For television,
he has written for "ALFRED
HITCHCOCK PRESENTS,"
"PLAYHOUSE 90." and the BBC.

Director Gillian Eaton is a multi-
talented individual who has also
made her mark as an actress and
screenwriter. Formerly with the
Royal Shakespeare Company,

the British born Ms. Eaton won
the Los Angeles Drama Critics
Outer Circle Award in 1982 for her
performance in the play
"GREEK." Three years later, she
was awarded the Los Angeles
Drama Logue Award for directing
"SECOND LADY." She has also
received praise for her involve-
ment with the motion picture bio-
graphy of Coco Chanel,
"CHANEL SOLITAIRE," in which
she collaborated on the
screenplay.

For Beverly Karp, co-producing
"VIVIAN LEIGH. A PORTRAIT" is
an exciting addition to her already
versatile career as a journalist,
fiction writer and motion picture
producer. Her literary works have
appeared in many major publica-
tions, (cont. Scarlett, p. 11)

Agnes Scott College welcomed
once again the Atlanta Repertory
Opera who gave laudable perfor-
mances of three classic oratorios
on the evenings of April 18 and
19. The Repertory Opera, founded
and directed by Marilyn Dietrichs,
was joined by the 55-member
Georgia Chorale conducted by
John Naskiewiez.

The first half of the evening was
devoted to twentieth century
works: Serenade to Music, whose

words are taken from Shakespeare's
Merchant of Venice, Act V. Scene
1; and Ralph Vaughan-Williams'
Dona Nobis Pacem. Williams'
composition, though lacking the
beautiful melodies of a classical
work, captures the global senti-
ments of fear and unrest that
were prevalent in the 1930s.

The second half of the Evening
of Oratorio featured a nineteenth
century work, Stabat Mater by
Gioacchino Rossini. Rossini's
ten-part religious tribulation gave
the five soloists the opportunity to
come alive as versatile yet refined
artists. (cont. Opera, p. 11)

Duo Gives Concert

by Mary Morris

On Tuesday. April 15. the Col-
lege Events Committee hosted
the Kirk Concert featuring flutist
Paula Robison and pianist Ruth
Laredo.

Miss Robison and Miss Laredo
performed an All-French Pro-
gram including the duets Sonata
for Flute and Piano by Poulenc;
Le Merle Noir, for flute and piano
by Messiaen; and Sonata in A
Major, Opus 13 by Faure

The program also included
three splendid solo piano pieces
performed by Miss Laredo: "La
Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin" from
Preludes Book I, "La Soiree dans
Grenade" from ESTAMPES and
"L'lle Joyeuse," all composed by
Debussy.

Miss Robison also had a solo
performance. After explaining to
the audience that Syrinx was
composed by Debussy as a song
of the Greek god Pan, Miss
Robison performed it "as it was
intended to be performed — in
the dark." The ladies were called
back for two encores as well.

Both Miss Robison and Miss
Laredo are outstanding musi-
cians. Both have performed with
the New York Philharmonic Sym-
phony and appeared at Carnegie
Hall and the Kennedy Center.

Both women's experience, tal-
ent, and love for music was made
obvious by their performance. The
evening was enjoyable for all
those who attended.

The concert was followed by a
reception where members of the
audience were able to meet both
performers.

Evert Get Borg-ed With Classes? Try PE!

By Pilar Duque

I, Like many other people at
Agnes Scott this spring, am taking
a tennis class. I'm not taking it just
to fulfill a requirement; for that I
could have taken anything. But
tennis has one big advantage: it
is played outside.

So it is spring, and fifteen of us
are out there every Tuesday and
Thursday mornings learning how
to hit a forehand, a backhand, and

to serve.

Fortunately for us, the class is
not all hit and no play; no way.
Last Tuesday Coach Peterson in-
troduced us to the wonderful
world of Volley-Tennis-Ball. What
a game! It is really surprising that
it hasn't reached the professional
levels yet.

The game is played by two
teams of three players each, on
a tennis court, and using tennis
balls and racquets. A team scores
only when they have served the
ball and they win the point. If they

Someday A Golf Pro

By Julie Hartline

I always felt golf was a pretty
boring sport, but since I started
taking it under Coach Peterson I
have changed my mind. The feel-
ing of taking your 9 iron and hitting
a ball high into the air is breath-
taking.

As the course began. I felt
stupid standing in the soccer field
swinging my imaginary golf club,
but it paid off. What seems silly
and elementary really helps in
learning to play a sport.

The first time Coach Peterson
took us out to the driving range,
every complaint in my mind was
erased. With every ball I hit that
was somewhat decent, the frus-
trations and tensions built up over
the week were erased. I really feel
that golf is a therapeutic sport.

I am not saying that in a few
weeks I became a professional
golfer. There are still times when
I miss the ball, and each time my
ego takes a beating; but I would
strongly recommend golf for those
who enjoy a long walk in the sun
and a release of frustrations.

By Pilar Duque

In the Wide World of Sports at
Agnes Scott, we have the following:

In TENNIS, last week's results
were: A loss to Brenau (at home),
and a loss to Oglethorpe (away),
together with a win against
LaGrange.

There was a softball team meet-
ing, and practices were set for
Mondays and Thursdays at 4:30.
The team will try to play several
games this quarter, and it is really

fun. If interested, come to prac-
tice, or contact a softball team
member.

There was also a meeting to
discuss the future of the Volleyball
team. The goals for this quarter
are to get much more on and
off-campus involvement. It was
decided that when the weather
permitted, the volleyball-for-fun
games were to be held outside at
5:00 p.m. The long term goals are
to have a lot more on campus
participation, and the possibility
of intramurals was mentioned.

win the point, but the other team
has served the ball, the only thing
that happens is that the serve
goes to the team that won the
point.

When a ball is served, the re-
ceiving team must get it to the
other side. To do this, they may
bounce the ball as many times as
they want, hit it as many times as
they want, as long as the ball
does not stop bouncing.

The ball may be played off any
wall, any fence, or any person,

any number of times. Once the
ball goes over the net, it is the
other team's turn to play it.

Well, as you can all very well
imagine, it was a fun class for all
those involved, especially for
coach who just stood on the side
and laughed.

This is only one example of the
many ways in which our PE.
teachers try to make class more
enjoyable for us all. Other
techniques include playing "dou-
bles", when the two racquets are

tied together, playing with one eye
covered, or even dressing wildly
for class. By the way, all this was
done in the same quarter!!

I also recall playing "tag" while
bouncing a basketball, or playing
"horse" for a prize. If you take golf,
you get to play on a real golf
course, as well as on the soccer
field where you have the opportu-
nity to break a window (and pay
for it of course.) So next time you
have to take a P. E. class, take a
little time to think that they are not
really THAT bad.

Why is it that at Agnes Scott it
is SO hard to get people to parti-
cipate in sports 9 At one time I
used to think that people didn't
play soccer because it was a very
rough sport, which does not ap-
peal to everybody. But then it was
basketball season, and I noticed
the lack of support the team had.
The tennis team can feel they
have a crowd watching their
matches when five people show
up.

This quarter, the lack of partici-
pation really showed. There was
a softball team meeting, and two
softball team practices, and very
few people showed up. There was
a volleyball team meeting, and
one volleyball-for-fun game,
where only four people showed
up.

Could it be that the college
calendar is too full 9 Or is it maybe
that the students are not taking
the time to relax by playing a
sport 9 Perhaps it is that the stu-
dents' calendars are too full and
there is no time for them to enjoy
a nice, healthy game of softball.

Violence Symposium Held At ASC

by Beverly Garcia

On Tuesday May 6, the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association Con-
tinuing Education Committee
sponsored the symposium on Vio-
lence Against Women. During this
event the issues of battering, rape
and the sexual abuse of children
were discussed by local and na-
tionally known professionals and
volunteers. The event began with
registration at 8:30 and ended at
4:00 with a speaker, followed by
a reception for both audience and
speakers alike.

The symposium began with
keynote speaker Peg Ziegler
Ph.D who is an administrator and
counselor-clinician for the Grady
Rape Crisis Center. She is consi-
dered a leading psychotherapist
in the treatment of rape and incest
victims and she serves as an
expert witness on sexual assault
in civil and criminal courts in Geor-
gia. She began with statements

and laws which related to women
many years back. Even though
these were outrageously ridicu-
lous and humorous they neverthe-
less pointed out the inadequacies
of women at the time, especially
those dealing with physical
characteristics. Dr. Ziegler spoke
on the topic of Violence in Beauti-
ful Relationships and dealt with
the problem of violence in our
society and how it intrudes into
our private lives. She stated that
"people react to powerlessness
with violence." That seems to be
the only way they know how. She
spoke very vehemently on the
subject of domestic violence and
stated in a very controversial and
thought provoking manner "If a
woman says 'I DO' at the altar
does that mean she gives up the
right to say 'NO'?" To everyone
who attended her lecture the an-
swer was a resounding NO. Also
the fact that 40% of our youth
under 18 years of age commit
rapes, robberies and the like does
not seem to alleviate the problem

Blackf riars Celebrate Seventieth Season

by Sarah Garland and Jeanie
Norton

As the oldest continuing dra-
matic organization in Atlanta.
Blackf riars of Agnes Scott College
is celebrating its 70th season this
1985/86 academic year. Since it
was established in 1915 by Frances
K. Gooch. the Blackfriars have
provided theatrical entertainment
for the campus and Atlanta at
large through the hard work of its
faculty and members. Before 1915
dramatic works at Agnes Scott
were presented by literary socie-

ties. Approximately two such works
were performed each year, and
women performed men's roles.
Only simple costumes and sets
were used. However, in 1915
Frances Gooch organized the
Blackfriars with the help of that
year's 14 charter members and 16
associate members. One of those
members was Jeanette Victor, the
president and the lead in that
year's production, "The Klepto-
maniac." It was an all-woman's
cast of characters. In 1921 Agnes
Scott began to present plays with
male roles, but these were still
played by female students.
Ten years after Frances Gooch

had started Blackfriars. Roberta
Powers Winter, for whom the
Winter Theatre in Dana is named,
starred as Jervis Pendleton in
"Daddy Longlegs." Roberta
Winter went on to graduate and
come back to the Agnes Scott
Blackfriars as the director and as
a professor of speech and drama
from 1943-1972. However, before
Frances Gooch was to leave she
and the Blackfriars were to make
an impression upon the mind
of Maxwell Arnow. the man sent
to the South to find the perfect
Scarlett O'Hara for Gone With the
Wind. According to Roland Flamini
in Scarlett. Rhett, and a Cast of
Thousands, Frances Gooch de-
spised the idea of letting Black-
friars audition for the part. She felt
their speech techniques were not
developed enough and that once
in Hollywood "they weren't going
to get any better." The young wo-
men were allowed to audition, but

they were unrehearsed and be-
fore the audition they drdn't know
for which part they would be read-
ing. Flamini goes on to tell how
Frances Gooch managed to tell
Arnow her opinions on who should
play Rhett. She felt that Clark
Gable was not capable of achiev-
ing the "Southern gentleman"
qualities required for the role.
When she heard of Hollywood's
decision to cast Gable, she lec-
tured her students on "Hollywood's
perfidy."

Blackfriars in the past and pre-
sent have managed to be not all
work but also a lot of fun. In 1946
a Blackfriar was quoted as saying,
"Those meetings — weren't they
fun 9 Business was just a minor
detail when you had parties and
one-cat skits to look forward to."
But besides the fun much was to
be done as Agnes Scott saw such
productions as "Twelfth Night",
"The Trojan Women", "Antigone".

at all. Later in the morning there
were speakers on child abuse
and small group discussions fol-
lowed.

After the lunch a very controver-
sial film "Killing Us Softly" was
shown in the filmroom to a packed
audience. This film spoke on the
subject of advertising in America
and the way in which women are
portrayed, which as the film
showed is in a submissive, perfect
woman manner. The advertise-
ments, as the film progressed,
began to get more ridiculous and
insulting. They portrayed women
as sex objects, lovers of abuse
and male submission. The film
pointed out that advertising is one
of the worst offenders of women.
The "perfect woman" is always
portrayed as one who is totally a
flawless and innocent beauty. This
is reinforced by the fact that half
a million dollars is spent on
cosmetics a day. Most which, of
course, swear that they will keep
you looking youthful and beautiful

"The Chalk Garden", and in 1974
"Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward.
"Blithe Spirit" ushered in the new
director and later chair of the
Theatre Department. Dr. Jack
Brooking. "Dr. B." as he is fondly
remembered retired last year after
11 years in the department. This
inaugural production of Dr.
Brookings first year, also, is to be
Dr. Paul Lifton's debut production
with the Theatre department and
Blackfriars. The Blackfriars hope
that this will be a good sign that
the tradition of high quality
theatre, which was established
70 years ago at Agnes Scott, will
continue for 70 more.

Blithe Spirit will be presented
the 15. 16. 17. 22. 23, and 24 of

Combat Crime-Act Smart

by Louisa Parker

As part of capping festivities juniors compete in the Miss Agnes
Scott Contest

Interdorm and SGA members
received both an unexpected treat
and a valuable lesson Monday,
May 5. Kathi Roberts spoke for
Citizens Against Crime about
crime. Ms. Roberts was a fascina-
ting, vivacious speaker who used
lots of audience participation. In-
terdorm vice-president Natalie
Whitten stated, "She was a fantas-

tic speaker." Although her lecture
was hilarious, Ms. Roberts man-
aged to impress on the audience
an important message: knowing
that there is a crime problem does
not mean anything if you do not
take responsibility for your own
actions and take responsibility for
your own safety seriously.

Ms. Roberts believes that your
first step should be to give up the
attitude that it won't be you. A
criminal wants a crime to be three
things: quick, easy, and low-risk.

If you make robbing or assaulting
you take longer, be more difficult,
and be more risky then you can
increase your chances of a crimi-
nal taking advantage of you.

There are two types of crime
prevention: physical deterrents
and mental deterrents. A good
physical deterrent is to put a dead-
bolt lock on your door. Turning on
a talk radio or television station
when you are in a strange hotel

TO THE POINT

by Elizabeth Mullis

Several years ago when the EPA discovered cancer-causing
asbestos in some hand held hair dryers. I remember seeing a
cartoon in my hometown newspaper. In it two mice were sitting in
a laboratory cage; one had curlers on his head, and the other was
blow-drying his hair. The caption read. "Remember the day when
all we had to do was eat saccharin and smoke a few cigarettes 9 *'

Humorous as the message is. it still points to a serious subject,
a subject that concerns us at Agnes Scott. It has come to my
attention that Presser Hall is currently being investigated for the
presence of asbestos. But what concerns me even more is the
lackadaisical handling of the matter.

It was drawn to the attention of Gerald Whittington and Jim Hooper
in December of last year that there was a possibility of the presence
of asbestos in Presser Hall. As of now there is still a detectable
presence, even after the Georgia Department of Natural Resources
issued a report on April 18 outlining suggestions for the removal of
the asbestos

In a January 23 news release the national EPA states: The
human health risks of asbestos are well known. EPA estimates that
asbestos causes from 3.300 to 12.000 cancer cases a year in the
U.S.. almost all of which are fatal.... Basing its conclusion on
available evidence. EPA believes there to be no safe level of
exposure to asbestos."

Asbestos fibers are small, often invisible particles ranging in sizes
smaller than some bacteria. Once inhaled they can cause serious
health problems including: asbestosis. lung cancer, and
mesothelioma (rare cancer of the thin membrane lining of the chest
and abdomen).

In view of this evidence I am angered, shocked, and very worried
about the situation in Presser. The hall is used for convocations,
lecture series. Glee Club rehearsals, and faculty offices. Every time
we take in a deep breath of air to belt out "God of the Marching
Centuries" we could be writing our ticket for a shorter life.

How can anyone, faced with this knowledge, ignore the situation 9
I really think that we as a campus deserve an explanation from Mr.
Whittington and Mr. Hooper as to their attitudes and methods in
regard to this matter.

I encourage parents of students to let their concerns be known,
students themselves to be heard, and faculty and staff, who are
actually the most endangered because they stand to see the most
exposure over a longer period of time, to protest this negligence.

A situation such as this should not exist.

LETTERS

Parietal Gripes

Dear Agnes Scott.

Last week, a friend of mine
called me wanting to come over
and discuss a serious problem
with me. I consented but then
reminded myself. "Oh yeah,
you're a guy and its Wednesday
night. Sorry. Perhaps you can pick
me up, drive me to Emory, talk,
then drive me back to Agnes
Scott."

Isn't this silly 9 As Agnes Scott
approaches its 100th year, why
are we living like it was 100 years
ago 9 Agnes Scott's parietal hours
are old-fashioned and are mocked
by all surrounding colleges. There
are no places for relaxed male
visitation on campus, and there is
no place for private conversation
at all. Guys are permitted in the
hub where one walks in on prayer
meetings, blood drives, or drink-
ing parties. The library is hot and
very formal. You and your date
must sit in separate carrels be-
cause the tables are occupied by
single students spreading out
their books.

The lobbies offer no privacy or
study tables, and everyone stares
at your companion. The only place
for private conversation is in
parked cars. This alternative is
not respectable or comfortable,
and public safety will eventually
come by to chat as well.

What is so wrong with having a
guy in your room 9 Can't men be
friends as well as members of the
opposite sex 9 As Agnes Scott
supports progress for women's

rights and opportunities, why are
we being so sexist 9 Are college
women not capable of being re-
sponsible for themselves? Do we
need rules more restricting than
the ones our parents had in order
to continue our studies? Certainly,
we do not wish Agnes Scott to
have a bad reputation, but neither
do we want to appear as daddy's
little naive girls.

Also, our prospective students
are not interested in green nail
polish and tacos, but they want
dates for their social life. We need
a relaxed, fun campus atmos-
phere to attract more students.
We must bring the concept of a
women's college into a modern
definition. If men had more visi-
tation hours, the freshmen may
be less tempted to violate a whole
semester of curfew restrictions.
Finally, why must we always go to
Georgia Tech or Emory to see
guys? We should be able to date
or study on our own campus too.

Before the new college year,
let's demonstrate that we are a
campus of mature adults in con-
trol of our own lives and make a
long awaited change. Write your
Agnes Scott leaders today.

Thank you,

Charay Norwood
Class of 1988

Assembly Praised

To the editor:

I appreciate your news judg-
ment in giving top billing (April 18)
to the Constitution 200 assembly
which was held on the Agnes
Scott campus recently.

I am a alumna who was on the
campus and attended that event,
so I would like — if I may— to add
my impression to what your repor-
ter, Beverly Garcia, wrote.

To me, the most telling com-
ment at the assembly was made
by Georgia State Senator Pierre
Howard: "If we scythe the reeds
of law. then who will dare to stand
in the cold winds which must of
needs blow after."

I would like to have that on my
wall to read whenever I mistakenly
think, "Oh yes, free speech, but
not for that outrageous remark by
my opponent." Or "Oh yes, rights
for the accused; but surely the
police don't have to observe
them." And so on.

The program was a fine cele-
bration of the Bill of Rights, which

was "The Fabulous Cruisers" who
played rock and oldies. Kimberly
Baker commented. They were
good. I like oldies and the way
they combined oldies with current
hits." Louisa Parker, a freshman,
stated. "I love oldies, but the band
kind of went into overkill. Some
songs were too fast to slow dance
to but too slow to fast dance to.
Nevertheless, they played some
really excellent old rock and roll
that made up for it." "They were

deterrent because the robber
would hear noise and pass your

As for car safety, Ms. Roberts
stressed keeping all your car
doors locked at all times, espe-
cially when you are driving alone.
When going to your car keep your
keys in your hand, look under the
car first, and look in your back
seat.

To ward off a street assault,
walk in an alert and confident
manner, paying attention to your
surroundings. Ms. Roberts com-
ments. "Put the odds in your favor.
There are only three basic things
you can do if you are confronted
in the street: scream, run, or fight.
If you scream, scream smart; if
you run. run smart; if you fight,
fight smart." What's an example
of doing something "smart" 9 If

someone attacks you, to scream
smart you would yell "fire" instead
of "rape". The only way to be able
to react wisely is to learn what the
smartest approach is.

Ms. Roberts emphasizes hav-
ing a plan, thinking out what you
would do in a given situation be-
forehand. Her closing words were
a pleading "make a committment
to your safety!!!!!"

Interdorm was so impressed
with Ms. Roberts' lecture that they
are having her come speak to all
ASC students at mandatory dorm
meetings next September 9th,
10th and 11th. Natalie Whitten
comments, "it (this program) will
especially be good for the
freshmen who will be new to the
city. It will make them more
aware." Natalie smiles. "Everyone
should go see her. She was
great'"

forever which brings up another
point. Aging in women is thought
of as inadequate and unattractive,
even ugly, while men are distin-
guished, more appealing and
thought of as sexy. The film ended
on a very serious note. It is clear
that it is up to each individual to
merge together and form a strong
group opposed to this very de-
meaning and false image given to
women by the advertising industry.

Dick Bathrick M.A. graduated
from Dartmouth College and did
graduate work at the University of
Chicago and Antioch University.
He spoke on Male Violence To-
wards Women: Why we do it and
What are the effects. He co-
founded Men Stopping Violence
in 1981, an organization of profes-
sionals dealing with violence in
the family. Mr. Bathrick began by
giving three explanations of why
men batter. First, because men

know they can get away with it. It
has been disregarded for so long
that it has not been until recently
that some attention has been
given to it Now more people are
more aware and are helping to
prevent violence. Secondly, men
have learned to use violence as
first and last resorts. This is en-
forced since childhood for many
men. Boys and men learn that
they should be the dominant per-
son in a relationship with a woman
and when they feel threatened
they resort to violence. Third they
learn through many ways that
throughout their lives that they
need to control women. Those
who do abuse and rape are men
who are isolated from other men
and who have inadequate re-
lationships with women. In such
cases help is available through
therapeutic, meditation or indi-
vidual counseling.

There are no easy answers to
this subject. It is important to note
however that as Mr. Bathrick
stated, "Violence stops only when
the man starts taking responsibil-
ity for their actions Men need to
hear from other men that there
are choices." Though placing an
abusive man under arrest and
sentencing him seems like the
best answer it does not always
work. These men need instead
some type of psychological help
often not available in jails.

These are obviously difficult
choices to make on the subject,
yet each citizen should feel re-
sponsible and take action against
this abuse of women, by volun-
teering some time to rape crisis
centers or women's shelters. This
abuse and exploitation is not only
by men but also by the media as
well. A loud voice must be heard.

A sophomore models her long awaited class ring

Another Voice

by Joy Jones

After three years here at Agnes Scott College and near zero
mention of minority contributions to anything in the realm of liberal
arts, I feel compelled to shed light on this unfortunate oversight
made by those coordinators of our curriculum.

It is so amazing to me that in a suburb of Atlanta such an
"oversight." in spite of the richness and magnitude of minority
achievement present, could be so prevalent.

Perhaps the "oversight" is due to the fact that the achievements
are thought to not be relevant to an ESWASP (Extremely Southern
White Anglo Saxon Protestant) institution. Perhaps there is no room
in the curriculum for say, a genuine "History of African Civilization'
course or a course in contemporary Black literature. At any rate, I
feel that the omission is one that serves to perpetuate ignorance
and ultimately, intolerance of other cultures that have, and still do
affect this nation and the world.

My freshman year, I was talking about Jesse Jackson to a White
dorm-mate. She told me how much she liked "Beat It" and the entire
Thriller soundtrack. Fall quarter, a classmate had no notion of what
apartheid meant and could not understand why the Black people
were so upset with Peter Botha and why he and Bishop Desmond
Tutu were at odds.

Mind you now. I said near zero mention. I have heard attempts.
Book reports were to be done in a history class chosen from the
professor's personal reading list. The author said that. "The Moslem
contribution to mankind was the institution of slavery," and called
the killing of some of the black male slaves. "The wanton destruction
of a useful work animal." He also made the statement that during
his journey some of the information he needed was only available
by word of mouth of a native Moor; so, of course, he did not know
how reliable the information would be (James Wellard, The Great
Sahara)

The point of view, needless to say. was not one that really talked
about the African peoples' history Instead, it only gave a common
White point of view of non-White history: that of "civilizing primitive
people" — people who between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries,
had to administer empires as large as all the states of Western
Europe put together.

If there is a disease or something of that nature that is thought
to have originated from those of African descent, the "knowledge'
is taken as fact. On the other hand, the fact that the genesis of the
species began in Africa is still a hotly contested debate (Dr. L.S.B.
Leakey).

In 1978, two Brown University professors, Peter Schmidt and
Donald Avery, announced to the world that between 1500-2000
years ago. Africans living in Tanzania had produced carbon steel.
The same year, two Michigan State scientists (Lynch and Robbms)
discovered that an accurate and complex calendar system, based
on astronomy, was developed in the first millenium B.C. in eastern
Africa.

The Africans had the.r own aspirin. Bantu-speaking peoples used
the bark of a tree to extract salicylic acid, the active ingredient in
aspirin. In Mali, they had one of the most common cures for diarrhea,
using kaolin, now the active ingredient in Kaopectate. ACaesarean
operation was performed by Banyoro surgeons in East Africa in
1879. These are but a few of the discoveries made by Dr. Charles
Finch of the Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia. All
of these discoveries were made before there was any such thing
as the Western World.

There was also cultivation of cereals and other crops by Africans
in the Nile Valley 7.000 years before any other civilization, the
domestication of cattle in Kenya 15,000 years ago, the domestic
use of fire by Africans 1.400,000 years ago (one million years before
its first known use in China) the use of tetracyclene by an ancient
African population fourteen centuries ago. and an African glider
plane 2.300 years old (Ivan Van Sertima. Blacks in Science,
Ancient and Modern. 1984.)

The areas of early African achievement previously mentioned are
but a few of the contributions that Blacks have made to the world.
There would not be enough space to begin to enumerate them all

Understanding history helps to understand some of the whys of
today The exclusion of certain history explains some of the whys
even more

Some of the students here are only selectively exposed to other
cultures. For the students that will always be able to do that. I guess
all is well. On the other hand, those that will, in the future, be
exposed to minorities as fellow employees, bosses, neighbors,
in-laws. etc.. will face what most of the minority students face here:
CULTURE SHOCK. And I'll tell you. it is voltage you never forget!

Sophomores Receive Rings

by Sarah Napier

Last week, amid much anticipa-
tion and excitement, the class of
1988 received their Agnes Scott
College rings. To an outsider, all
of this activity centered around a
simple class ring might seem a
little strange, but there are years
of tradition behind the design and
meaning of an ASC ring.

In 1926 the jewelers Herff
Jones began manufacturing the
first Agnes Scott ring, with a de-
sign similar to the ring worn by
students today The first ring was
all gold, the onyx stone was not
added until 1935. Since 1935
other minor changes have been
made in the rings by various
classes but the basic design of
the rings has remained consis-
tent. Other jewelers have also
been chosen by some classes, on
the basis of price. Each year the

sophomore class forms a ring
committee which accepts bids
from various companies and then
selects the company to make that
class's rings. This committee also
oversees the ordering and distri-
bution of the rings. So, each
class rings are unique as well as
keeping with the original design.

Many ASC graduates wear
their rings for years to come, in
fact, several alumnae have con-
tacted the college when their rings
were lost so they could replace
them. Part of what's great about
an ASC ring is that it does not look
like a typical "college ring" and
can be worn for any occasion and
with any style of dress or jewelry.
As Mollie Merrick put it, "the rings
are still meaningful years and
years later." Part of what makes
the rings so special to ASC stu-
dents are their tastefulness and
beauty.

ASC students are often recog-
nized in the community, before

and after they graduate, by their
rings. Mollie Merrick told me a
story about a 1981 ASC graduate
who, while visiting the colosseum
in Rome, spotted a 1963 graduate
by her ring. The two spent time
together in Rome and have re-
mained friends.

How did the class of 1988 feel
when they got their rings? One
sophomore told me, "getting my
ring made me feel closer to grad-
uation." Class of '88 member Julie
Hartline responded, "getting my
ring was one of the highlights of
my sophomore year. Since I'm a
transfer student, getting my ring
finally made me feel like a part of
ASC." Agnes Scott is a school
with many time-honored tradi-
tions. While it is important to keep
establishing new traditions at
ASC, we should also continue
valuing rituals like receiving our
class rings. Congratulations to the
class of '88.

Capping . . . Class of 1987

by Heather Moseley

Recently you have probably
seen the Class of 1987 doing
things you never thought they
would do. They participated in a
beauty pageant and they ate their
way through a chocolate pudding
pie eating contest. One particular
classmate even had to ask the
construction workers if they would
have taken her to Spring Formal!

All of these crazy antics and
more are part of the old Agnes
Scott tradition. Capping. Capping
is the senior class' unofficial rec-
ognition of the junior class as
rising seniors. The tradition pro-
motes the closeness and friend-
ship that the two classes have
shared during the last three years.
Although no one really knows
when and how it actually began it
has evolved into a kind of "junior
hell week. "The senior class mem-
bers choose a junior (or two) to
bother for a week. Finally, on the
night of capping the juniors dis-
cover who their capper is.

I won*t give out any secrets
about the actual Capping Eve-
ning I will say that all of us who
participated in Capping and the
week of craziness that preceded
it. and even though we might have
been slightly embarrassed at
times, all had a marvelous time.
Capping will always be remem-
bered as one of the most fun,
most hilarious experiences
shared at Agnes Scott.

Feminism. What images does that word bring to
mind? Gloria Steinem, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women
burning their bras, androgenous clothing? The issue
of feminism is of particular interest to us here at

THE ISSUE

Agnes Scott, since we are all women of the
eighties— like it or not. The Profile presents three
aspects of feminism as they affect our lives on and
off campus.

Men

by Adlen A. Walker

The women's movement, past
and present, has had a tremen-
dous impact on society. But most
of us admit that equality between
the sexes is still not a reality— the
fight is not over. Now the question
is, have men joined us in our
crusade? The males in the Agnes
Scott community offer some help-
ful insight.

Dr. John Pilger, professor of
Biology spoke positively about
the women's movement. He said
"Feminism used to have a bad
name because it implied some-
one who was pushy ..." But Dr.
Pilger stressed that many of the
early feminists HAD to be pushy
to accomplish what they did. As
for today, Dr. Pilger emphasized
the positive changes. He said "I
consider myself a feminist." Dr.
Pilger also related a new term
which he heard recently. The word
is "MACHA." He said "macha" is
a combination of the BEST fea-
tures of women and men
TOGETHER.

Dr. Kwai Chang, Professor of
Bible and Religion, said over the
years he has seen "big changes
in the work possibilities for
women." Dr. Chang emphasized
the need for language reform in
society. He said "It is helpful to
make deliberate changes in lan-
guage." Dr. Chang demonstrated
his conviction to making this
change, when he began the
Alumni dinner's devotion, "Oh
God, our Mother." After Dr.
Chang's prayer, there were sev-
eral raised eyebrows. This reaf-
firms the social stigma attached
to feminine element — even here
at Agnes Scott 11

Although the interviews with Dr.
Pilger and Dr. Chang were insight-
ful. I decided a Blue Collar per-
spective on this issue might be
helpful. So, armed with pen,
paper, and a supportive friend, I
made my way to the construction
site of Main and Rebekah. I spoke
with the Superintendent, Jim
Wilson, and two other construc-
tion workers. Basically, Mr. Wilson
said "it is up to the individual
woman" whether or not she wants
to pursue a career. He also said
"until eight years ago, a woman
had never worked construction
for me." Mr. Wilson claimed a
woman in construction earns re-
spect by the way she "conducts"
herself. When asked about the
whistles students receive from the
workers, Mr. Wilson said the at-
titude of the men was "complimen-
tary" NOT derogatory One of the
workers I spoke with said he did
not mind his wife working, but if
he earned more money, he would
rather her stay home with their
child. This brings the economy
into the picture. At present, most
families cannot afford the cost of
living unless both husband and
wife work. This often brings prob-
lems to the family unit, but it
DOES put more women in the
work force. Thus increasing a
woman's chance to move up the

ladder of success. The battle con-
tinues however, as women are
forced to fight the men in power
for paid maternity leave, etc . . .

Perhaps the main problem in
the women's movement is that
sense of desperation. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Susan B.
Anthony felt it. "IT" is the decision
of what exactly to fight for. In
Stanton and Anthony's case, the
decision was whether to fight for
changing society's attitude, or to
push for woman's suffrage. In the
end, Susan B. Anthony won the
vote, and the women's movement
promptly died. In the twentieth
century, we are also caught in a
web. There is a struggle to pass
ERA, and the even greater strug-
gle to alter society's view of
women. Dr. Pilger said "ERA is an
important step ... If I were Nancy
Reagan, I would be so embar-
rassed . . . Nancy SAYS she is for
equality, but she is so traditional!"
Dr. Chang also feels the passing
of ERA is vitally important to the
women's movement. Dr. Chang
said it is a "Natural thing" that the
men in power do not want to pass
the amendment. He said "any
group enjoying privileges does not
want to give them up." Finally, Dr.
Chang advised "If and when
women have the opportunity to
achieve economic and/or political
power, they MUST use it!!!"

Women

by Lisa Gugino

Feminism is a controversial
subject and it's controversially
grows as the conservative move-
ment expands throughout our
country. It becomes pertinent to
ask at some point, what is it about
feminism that is so threatening to
our society? It becomes even
more pertinent to question
women, for it is their movement,
as to why feminism threatens
them and what factor plays into
that fear.

Caroline Dillman, of the Agnes
Scott Sociology Department,
feels that the distinguishing fea-
ture of feminism, the belief in
equality between the sexes,
should be inquired about because
it often determines whether or not
a woman will be receptive or hos-
tile to a feminist ideology. Ms.
Dillman also commented on her
area of expertise, that of southern
women. She said, "the traditional
southern woman is usually
threatened by feminism because
she sees feminism as a threat to
her cultural heritage. Also, if she
lives within the southern bible belt,
religion becomes a factor.
Feminism then not only threatens
her heritage but also her religious
foundations. "

The unsuccessfulness of the
suffrage movement in the deep
south exemplifies the threat of
feminism. The 19th amendment
to allow women the vote was only
successful in the border states of
Texas. Tennessee. Kentucky and
Arkansas.

Connie Jones, also of the
Agnes Scott Sociology Depart-
ment, characterized women as a

minority group whose self-defini-
tion is derived from the dominant
group. "That dominant group is
still sending messages to women
that they are inferior. The whole
purpose of the feminist move-
ment, as is other social move-
ments, is to break traditional defi-
nitions and begin to redefine new
definitions."

"Unfortunately, the initial pur-
pose of the movement has been
lost or at least masked by a
dangerous stereotype," says
Christy Noland. She further ex-
plained, "I believe very strongly in
the goals of the feminist move-
ment. I also believe that men and
women are different but equal.
However, I believe that women
are threatened by the movement
because it has been stereotyped
incorrectly. Originally the feminist
movement stood for giving wo-
men the freedom to make their
own choices. With the attachment
of a detrimental stereotype women
lose those choices."

Jennifer Cooper helped to ex-
plain the detrimental stereotype
Christy mentioned by saying, "my
mother explained to me that all
feminists were either divorced,
single, or lesbians." Ashley
Moorer contributed to the discus-
sion by imparting her feelings that,
"feminism threatens the tradi-
tional family system and its val-
ues, that's why it threatens me. I
feel that a women should have a
choice whether or not to stay
home with her children. I want to
be with my children; I want to
derive my self-concept from my
family, working would compro-
mise that."

Debbie Wilson pointed out.
however, that Ashley could and
was expressing both a tradition-
alist and feminist point of view
without even realizing it. "Ashley's
desire to have a choice about
raising her family is based on the
same principles espoused by the
feminist movement," Christy said.
Debbie added a valuable com-
ment that, "a liberal arts education
promotes femir'sm because it en-
courages you to always have
choices."

Ebie Blizard said her feelings
against feminism have nothing to
do with religion or an unappealing
stereotype. She said, "I am proud
to be a traditional southern
female; I was brought up to feel
comfortable with this role and I
accept it. I would not feel comfort-
able unless I was in the passive
role because I think men should
be dominant."

Anne Sophy said, "the women
I know that are threatened by
feminism continue to be plagued
by the stereotype that feminists
are militant, aggressive, dominant
and pushy women who try and
deny their feminine side." Anne
was convinced that the traditional
woman's greatest fear about
feminism was that they would be
shunned by the male sex and
maybe even their women friends."

Who perpetuates these
stereotypes and builds on these
fears? Connie Jones explained,
"as women educate themselves
and the feminist movement grows
stronger the backlash against the
movement will also grow. Pres-

ently many radical right wing or-
ganizations have taken on
feminism as an issue to be fought
against. They retard the growth of
the movement by feeding the
stereotypes."

Ms. Jones concluded by giving
a more accurate description of a
feminist. "Usually feminists are
independent women who break
away from the established defini-
tions of what women should be in
an attempt to re-establish a new
self-identity."

In the final evaluation, the deci-
sion to accept or reject feminism
is solely up to the individual based
on numerous factors.

College

by Vee Kimbrell

The role of feminism on a
Women's College Campus is very
important in relation to the cur-
riculum. At Agnes Scott espe-
cially, many seminars, classes,
and symposiums are offered to
the students which benefit them
both academically and socially.
Since there is no interaction
among males and females in
these classes and seminars,
women feel more freely about
attending and voicing their opin-
ions on feminism than they would
be on a Co-Ed. campus.

Many young women on campus
enjoy the benefits of going to a
class such as "Psychology of
Women" without being looked
down upon by males. Kathryn
Dean? who is a freshman here at
ASC says that she enjoys attend-
ing the seminars and symposiums
without worrying about whether
or not she will be laughed at by
"guys." Even though there is a
strong sense of feminism on cam-
pus, she doesn't feel that it is too
overbearing. Everyone here is
free to speak their own opinions
and ideas and she says. "I feel
good knowing that if I do not want
to attend the special seminars, I
am not going to be looked down
upon by my peers. There is no
strong majority on campus that

forcing me to participate if I do not
want to."

On the other hand, there are
students that feel there is no basis
for comparison on the subject of
feminism since there are no males
on an "all women" campus. This
allows for a somewhat opinion-
ated idea of feminism among
women because they are not ex-
posed to the ideas of males. Anne
Leacock feels that the idea of
feminism on a Women's College
campus is overdone to an extent
for this very reason. She feels that
it goes so far that some women
begin to feel that they can't live
unless they "outdo a man." She
enjoys the opportunities of attend-
ing an all women's college, but
she disagrees with the women
who are too opinionated on the
subject of feminism. Helen Aman
who is a sophomore feels the
same way about the subject. She
says, "Since there is no male
interaction on an all women's cam-
pus, women feel they are just as
superior to men. They soon learn
that in the 'real world' the attitudes
among women are not the same."

The way the curriculum on an
all women's campus is set up,
there are more opportunities for
women to learn more about them-
selves. Being among women al-
lows for a freer expression of
feministic ideas because there
are no men to intimidate them.
Women can go to class wearing
whatever they want and speak
their minds whenever and how-
ever they feel like it. This has its
advantages because women ob-
tain a higher self-esteem of them-
selves and realize that the man's
way is not always the right way.

At Agnes Scott the curriculum
is set up to benefit every student
on campus. Such events have
been sponsored by the college
that aid women in bettering their
self-esteem and mind-power.
Seminars such as the "Women's
Health Issues Seminar" and the
"Violence Against Women Sym-
posium" have been informative as
well as a learning experience of
what feminism means on the col-
lege campus as well as in society.

Dr. Ayse Carden will spend sabbatical year in Turkey.

Cardin Travels To Turkey

by Heather Rogers

Dr. Ayse Carden. acting chair of
the Psychology Department, will
spend the 86-87 school year on
sabbatical in Istanbul. Turkey. Dr.
Carden believes that the main
purpose of a sabbatical, which
teachers are eligible for every
seventh year, is to "renew the
faculty psychologically and
professionally."

In Turkey. Dr. Carden will do
cross-cultural research based on
Carol Gilligan's theory of how
male and females form their iden-
tities differently through their re-
lationships. With the help of a
■'playbox" containing stylized toys.
Dr. Carden will test the identity
development of male and female
pre-schoolers. She will videotape
the children while they tell a story

about the toys in the box. The

Students Learn To Scuba

children's stories will reveal their
sense of identity in relation to
other people. Holly Rogers, a
senior Psychology major, is cur-
rently using the playbox to gather
data about American pre-schoolers.

After Dr. Carden has finished
gathering the data, she will go to
the University of California at Ber-
keley to analyze the data with the
professor who helped her design
the playbox. Dr. Carden hopes to
submit at least one paper to the
public about her findings and give
a seminar at Agnes Scott.

Senior Ruth Feicht. also a
Psychology major, will present a
paper on homesickness with Dr.
Carden in July. Ruth may also join
Dr. Carden in Turkey as a research
assistant.

Dr. Carden is very excited about
her sabbatical and welcomes any-
one who would like to visit or
participate as a research assis-
tant.

By Beth Webb

Since the quarter began, and
up until midquarter. a group of
Agnes Scott students, plus one
boyfriend and one husband, have
met twice a week for scuba in-
struction. The instructors were Dr.
and Mrs. Bailey, or Gordon and
Dottie as they prefer to be called,
junior Amy Bailey's parents. The
course met for two pool sessions
every week, from 6:30 to 8:30 on
Sundays and Thursdays, and for
one classroom session each
week. Sundays from 4 to 5:30.
Participants in the class were
Donna Doorley. Ward Broom.
Susie Somerlot. Suzanne
Heyward, Kathy Kirkland Flow.
Mike Flow. Beth Webb, and Amy
Bailey. They are all being certified
by NAUI (National Association of
Underwater Instructors) and by
the YMCA. the two toughest cer-
tifying organizations in the country.

While fhe class has always
been a lot of fun, there were
several skills and exercises that
had to be completely mastered,
from clearing ones mask and
snorkel, to "ditching and doming'"
one's mask, snorkel, fins and tank
on the pool bottom. The mair
thing is practice, like in any sport."
commented Mrs. Bailey. "You've
got to practice if you want to be
really elegant at it." The Bailey s
were generally pleased with the
class' performance, and were
able to move the check-out dive
trip up one week because the
group progressed so quickly.

Dr Bailey lectured on various
topics in the classroom sessions.

ranging from the direct and indi-
rect effects of pressure, to
"beasties" one might encounter
while diving. His lectures were
always humorous and interesting,
as well as highly instructive, for
he was able to back up many of
his points with anecdotes from his
and Mrs. Bailey's diving experi-
ences around the world. During
his remarks on "beasties". he
commented that they had encoun-
tered very few sharks, and even
when they had. they had only
been a little scared. Mrs. Bailey
was quick in saying that she had
been more than a "little" scared.

The group's check-out dive was
scheduled for May 8th through
the 11th. over various parts of
Florida. They have planned one
skin dive (no tanks) and about five
scuba dives.

Dr. Bailey, who is interested in
underwater photography, took
some pictures of the group during
the last pool session, and was
planning on taking some more on
their trip.

BARBOURVILLE. Kentucky-
Spring break is over and a long
hot summer looms on the other
side of finals week. But is there
really life after the ultimate spring
break? "Yes" says Professor Jim
Cox, Coordinator for the Appala-
chian Semester at Union College
in Barbourville. Kentucky.

Each autumn the Appalachian
Semester challenges students to
study and explore the Southern
Appalachian Region. Through an
integration of classroom and com-
munity, theory and experience,
the program considers the chang-
ing patterns of culture, society,
and political economy within the
region. This analysis treats both
distinctive characteristics and the
extent to which the Highlands rep-
resent a microcosm of the larger
American society.

The application deadline for the
Appalachian Semester has been
set for June 1st. The program

consists of 15 hours of upper level
division credit which is transfer-
able to the student's home institu-
tion. Nine of the 15 hours are
sociology the remaining six hours
can be earned in a number of
areas depending on the students
interest.

The first five weeks are devoted
to a concentrated series of semi-
nars, conducted by Union profes-
sors and visiting scholars from
regional colleges and universities.
Classroom learning is com-
plimented by field trips providing
firsthand observation and meet-
ings with local residents and com-
munity leaders in government ser-
vice agencies, business and pub-
lic education.

Beginning in the sixth week,
students will spend Tuesday
through Thursday in a supervised
internship or directed study pro-
ject. Classes, with occasional field
trips, are scheduled for Monday

and Friday. During this latter
period, seminar discussions ex-
pand upon earlier study and at-
tempt to reconcile theory with stu-
dent perceptions of their practical
involvement.

While the students are in a
flurry of learning activities they
also have a first class chance for
a lot of fun. Hiking, music festivals,
arts and crafts festivals as well as
folk cultural events are just a few
of the activities that are constantly
available. The program also coor-
dinates with the Union College
Wilderness Club for day hiking,
caving, backpacking, and white-
water rafting trips.

"I think that they will really enjoy
the experience of learning." says
Jim Cox. "after all it is not just a
semester but an adventure." For
more information call 606-546-
4151 or write Prof. Jim Cox. Coor-
dinator, Appalachian Semester,
Union College, Barbourville. KY

During May the Dekalb County
School System's Fernbank Sci-
ence Center greenhouse is featur-
ing "Celebrity" tomato. Each visi-
tor is invited to pot one of these
plants to take home as long as
supplies last, and take an informa-
tion sheet on the care of the plant.

The greenhouse, located at 765

I ARTS AND ENTERTfilNMENT

Art Professors Show Some Style And Flair

Jay Bucek's pottery and Terry McGehee s seascapes are on
exhibit in Dana

SDT Concert A Success

by Liz Pleasant

Agnes Scott's three studio art
professors are presently exhibit-
ing their work in the gallery of the
Dana Fine Arts Building. The
show dates from April 13th to May
15th and will be followed by the
senior show.

Terry McGehee, the new chair
of the art department, exhibits
two different styles of painting in
the show. The works that hang on
the left wall of the middle room
and in the far left room of the
gallery are paintings that show a
continuation of her interest in sea
scapes. In the newer series of
these works, Terry has tried to
evoke images and feelings about
swimming at night in open water.
They show darker tones and more
subtle color variations. These
were done this year and utilize
acrylic thinned with water. Some
were later marked with graphite,
charcoal, or pastel. Another way
she has marked the works is by
scratching the surface, which
creates a third dimension and
adds an element of visual activity.

Miss McGehee's pastel draw-
ings in the small right room are
essentially her own diary draw-
ings which convey her personal
feelings about having recently be-
come an administrator. "Because
I'm visually oriented, I image a lot
of thoughts and words from my
duties which include letter writing,
meetings, and discussions with
the faculty," says Miss McGehee.
She calls the works her "pictorial
notations" of an aspect of life at
Agnes Scott this year. She then
explains the emotional distance
she has created by the making of
these drawings and says the dis-
tance is evidenced by a sense of

humor. "I refuse to lose my sense
of humor, but I also feel turmoil
very deeply. The college is obvi-
ously going through a lot of
change and turmoil. These draw-
ings are evidence of how these
things have affected me."

Without a doubt the works in-
volved a lot of work and emotional
energy on her part and were
liberating in this way for her be-
cause she could take out her
present frustrations in them.

McGehee concludes by calling
these recent works "absurdities"
with an enormous amount of sar-
casm. In her words. "I think they're
fine and I think they're funny - Ha
Ha Ha."

Exhibiting the three-dimen-
sional aspect of the show is Agnes
Scott's pottery professor and also
professional potter, Jay Bucek.
Jay and his wife operate a pottery
shop in Helen, GA, but his most
creative works meant for gallery
exhibition are all done in the pot-
tery lab in Dana. In this show, he
contributes three different ideas.
The first includes functional ware,
or normal pottery representations.
The second is the large scale
work. These large pieces are the
first Bucek has attempted since
1981. The third group of pieces
are some that he has never before
attempted. They are called
"Oribe" and are patterned from
Japanese ceramic history. These
include octagonal vases and
bowls with underglaze decoration
and are blue with a brown floral
design. Bucek's pieces are exhi-
bited throughout the gallery area.

The third professor exhibiting is
Leland Staven. His works appear
on the far right wall of the middle
room and in the large right gallery
room. The paintings are unmistak-
able with their textured effect.

Staven calls his multiple canvas
works "Modular Painting." A pri-
mary example of this is his
"Mosaic Man." It is an enormous
painting on the back wall of the
middle room. Staven calls it a
"philosophical and visual paint-
ing." The canvases represent the
structural, physical, bio-chemical,
and spiritual aspects of the uni-
verse. The fourteen section paint-
ing which is attached to huge
background canvas is representa-
tive of an isobutane molecule. Ten
have probability densities painted
on them and four make up the
head, hands, and feet of Christ.
The painting involved over a year
of work, and Staven says he will
definitely do more similar paintings.

Three paintings are from Sta-
ven's "Floralesque" series. "#5"
of this series has been recently
accepted to the Third Annual Car-
rollton Juried Exhibition. These
paintings are based on abstract
floral, leaf, and root patterns and
form a huge abstract flower.

Another series is that of "Win-
dowscapes." These all include a
horizon line and an isolated area
within the painting. These repre-
sent planes. The first of these and
the influence for the rest is called
"Horizon #1." Other works by
Staven in the show include
"Phoenix Earth," "Bee-ings." and
"Underworks." Everything was
created with a sand and gesso
texture, an added dark tone, and
dry-brush on the surface. He
utilized warm colors against cool
ones trying pastel ranges for the
first time. All the works are from
the last two years.

Agnes Scott is certainly fortu-
nate with regard to its studio art
professors. They are creative and
innovative and they feel very
strongly about the work they do.

Studio Dance Theatre per-
formed their spring concert May
1 and 2 at 8:15 p.m. in Gaines
Auditorium. The performance was
a selection of eight ballets with
four student choreographers' and
one alumna's choreography
among them.

The ballet "Of Nymphs and of
Fairies." choreographed by Nancy
Hardy, was a pretty piece with
nice, flowing movement. The vivid
blue unitards and long, pale green
sashes especially enhanced the
airy movements. Andrea Morris
gave a nice performance and in-
terpretation in this ballet which
added to the piece's success.

Andrea also choreographed

Blithe Spirit is no exception.
The characters constantly bait
one another and engage in a
running battle of wits which only
thinly conceals their seductive
motives.

Coward forms an unconven-
tional love triangle between
Charles, a successful British
novelist, and his two wives Elvira
and Ruth. The unconventional
part is that Elvira is dead and has
been for seven years.

Elvira has materialized acciden-
tally, and now, try as they may,
they cannot get rid of her. Elvira
thoroughly enjoys this opportunity
to be with her husband, even
though he cannot touch her.
Charles is pleasantly confused by
his former wife's appearance and
grows to like the idea of having
both of his wives around the
house. Ruth, on the other hand,
thinks this is an abominable idea.

What more can we say? It is
just too hysterical for words.

"Mystery and Imagination," which
was another student choreo-
gaphy that was most successful.
The piece opened with the dan-
cers walking in with black robes
and candles. As the ballet pro-
gessed, the robes were shed to
reveal red unitards. An outstand-
ing dancer in this piece was Sarah
Napier who was gracefully
partnered by a chiffon scarf. The
scarf added that air of mystery the
piece was projecting. The pat-
terns and themes throughout the
piece were exciting to watch de-
velop as well, and the audience
seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.

A special attraction in the perfor-
mance was "Sahomi," choreo-
graphed by Tom Pazik. Mr. Pazik
is the director of the Atlanta
School of Ballet, and Agnes Scott
was very fortunate to have a man
of his stature choreograph a piece
for Studio Dance. The piece had
an oriental style and a wonderfully
developed theme. The piece de-
veloped the generalization that a
group can conquer a conflict bet-
ter when the individuals work to-
gether rather than separately. This
theme also seems to be a major
characteristic of the oriental cul-
tures in my eyes.

The closing piece. "Courante."
by Marylin Darling was slightly
confusing. The stage was clut-
tered with a red metallic drum set
and three black chairs which left
little room for the dancers to
move. The name Courante also
implies that this piece's style might
have suggested a seventeenth-
century French grave and formal
court dance. Instead, the piece
seemed more an acrobatic seduc
tion of the percussionist by the
three dancers. It is wonderful that
Agnes Scott has talent in the area
of gymnastics, but it did not seem
in the right setting at a dance
concert. The piece lacked any
message or continuity of thought
as well. Dance and choreography
in the form of art are the union of
music and movement to express
a message, not flip-flops " and
stunts to music which ultimately
left me in a state of confusion. My
interpretation of this piece may
seem crude, but I felt in good
company with many other mem-
bers of the audience on Thursday
night.

Blackfriars' Play Abounds With Spirit

by Jeanine Dwinell and Meg
Bryant

The Blackfriars' production of
Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward
opens May 15 and runs the
16.17,22, 23, and 24 in the Winter
Theatre. The play starts at 8:15
each night.

Noel Coward was an actor, com-
poser, and playwright who worked
prolifically throughout most of the
twentieth century. He was born in
England in 1899. and started his
acting career at the age of 12. He
published his first play in 1923
and his last, in which he also
acted, in 1966. Coward was
knighted in 1970 and died in 1973.

He wrote Blithe Spirit in 1941
and it initially ran for 1,997 perfor-
mances in London. Many of his
plays aroused controversy due to
the sexual sophistication of the
characters.

Spacek Is Refreshing In Violets

by Kimberly Baker

Kevin Kline and Sissy Spacek play reunited high school sweet-
hearts in Violets Are Blue

Violets are Blue, now playing
in the Atlanta area, is the touching
tale of Gussie Sawyer, played by
Sissy Spacek. and Henry Squires,
played by Kevin Kline, who were
high sohool sweethearts. The two
are reunited fifteen years later
and find the attraction just as
strong. Unfortunately Squires
now has a wife and son.

Squires and Sawyer find them-
selves questioning the lives they
have chosen for themselves.
Sawyer, a successful photojour-
nalist. finds herself longing for the
stability of family life. Squires, who
is editor of the Ocean City. Mary-
land, newspaper, envies the suc-
cess and excitement of Gussie's
career.

The touching story explores
their struggles with themselves
as they try to find their true pur-
pose in life. These struggles are

reminiscent of the struggle stu-
dents feel as they prepare to pull
up their roots and begin their life
on their own. The emotions of the
audience soared through the
climactic scene in the airport as
Sawyer prepares to return to her
work in the Middle East, and
Squires must choose between his
wife and Sawyer. The tears were
flowing in the theater after this
closing scene.

This love story is refreshing in
that it deals with mature adults
instead of young teenagers. Kline
best expresses the quality that
makes this film worthwhile in say-
ing, "One thing I like about Violets
are Blue is that it's not preach-
ing .. . It's about growing up. fac-
ing reality. And it deals with roman-
ticism versus pragmatism, and re-
sponsibility versus impulsiveness."

Go see Violets are Blue and
you'll come away refreshed with
a new optimistic respect for the
morality of mankind.

Pryor Makes Directing Debut In Jo Jo Dancer

Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is
Calling, which opened in the At-
lanta area on May 2. is the story
of a well-known entertainer at the
peak of his popularity and the
bottom rung of his self-esteem.

From Columbia Pictures, the
tragicomic fantasy marks the di-
recting debut of Richard Pryor,
who stars in the film, which he
also co-wrote and produced.

When Jo Jo Dancer has an
accident at his California man-
sion, he's rushed to the burn ward
of a nearby hospital, encased in
a cocoon of protective bandages
and connected to a myriad of
life-support systems. Time be-

comes a doorway through which
Jo Jo is taken on a journey to the
past, and what he finds there will
determine whether he lives or
dies. Blending comedy, drama
and fantasy. Jo Jo's story spans
four decades.

Produced and directed by Pryor
from a screenplay by Rocco Urbisci
& Paul Mooney & Richard Pryor,
the film also stars Debbie Allen,
Art Evans, Fay Hauser, Barbara
Williams, Carmen McRae, Paula
Kelly, Diahnne Abbott, Scoey
Mitchell, Billy Eckstine. Wings

E'Lon Cox. Music is by Herbie

Award-Winning Homesteaders Opens In Little Five Paints

The '"back to the land" dreams
of the 1960s come face to face
with the '80s in Horizon Theatre
Company's southeastern pre-
miere of Homesteaders by Nina
Shengold. This award-winning
comedy/drama opened on Thurs-
day. May 1. at Horizon's theatre,
located at Euclid and Austin Av-
enues in Little Five Points. Perfor-
mances are Thursdays through
Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. through
May 24.

Set in Alaska during the sum-
mer of 1979. Homesteaders tells
the story of two ' rich kid." Connec-
ticut brothers who choose to es-
cape their identities and start a
new life in the Alaskan wilderness.

Ten years have passed since
Neal and Jack burned their draft
cards and their bridges and went
back to the land. Sharing their
independent life as subsistence
fishermen is Edra. Jack's fiancee.
She's a hard-working native Alas-
kan who's had enough of the
primitive life and is ready for a
change.

Impulsively. Neal hires a beauti-
ful young woman named Jake for
his summer "deckhand." She's a
New Yorker, green to Alaska, but
enthusiastic, looking for adven-
ture and maybe romance.

The tiny cabin starts rocking
when Laurel. Neal's fiery 14-year-
old daughter bursts on the scene.
Laurel's unexpected visit spurs
conflicts, both humorous and dis-
turbing, as she skewers the truth
out of everyone. Loyalties are
challenged, family secrets are re-

vealed, and a letter from "home"
forces everyone to make some
big decisions.

When the play opened at the
Olympic Arts Festival in 1984. the
critics raved. "When the experi-
ence is both old and fresh at once,
the suspicion is that there's a real
writer in the house . . . Shengold's
voice is remarkable for its evis-
cerating honesty." wrote the Los
Angeles Times

The Los Angeles Herald
Examiner called the play. "An ex-
traordinary debut . . . Shengold
displays a rare talent for integrat-
ing plot, themes, and charac-
ters. ..and she also writes with
humor, true seasoned character
humor.. .We're going to be seeing
quite a bit of Nina Shengold's
work in years to come."

Inspired by her own experi-
ences as a deckhand on an Alas-
kan fishing boat. Shengold de-
veloped Homesteaders out of
her reflections about people like
herself, who had sought an alter-
nate and often rugged lifestyle in
Alaska. "I was wondering why
people in the 1980s would want
to try to find themselves by living
a very primitive lifestyle, basically
living off the land. To me. it was
tied to the '60s dream." Shengold
said. "But you can't make your
solutions geographically How-
ever much you want to take your-
self out of your old way of life,
you're the same person. Ulti-
mately, to start over you have to
come to terms with what you've
been."

In 1984, Homesteaders was

the first recipient of the ABC
Playwright Award, one of ten plays
nominated by producers from
Broadway and off-Broadway. Nina
Shengold was only 27 at the time
of her professional debut at the

Capital Repertory Company in
New York. The play has been
widely produced in regional
theatres, including the Long
Wharf Theatre in New Haven,
Connecticut and the Olympic Arts
Festival.

Fox Goes To War With Biloxi Blues

Neil Simon's Tony Award win-
ning Best Play, Biloxi Blues, is
coming to Atlanta's Fabulous Fox
Theatre for eight performances
only, Tuesday, May 27th through
Sunday, June 1st.

Whether you were a soldier,
dated a soldier, fathered a soldier,
mothered a soldier or married a
soldier, you will find something to
engage and amuse you in Neil
Simon's Biloxi Blues, winner of
Broadway's 1985 Tony Award for
Best Play. The 21st play from the
typewriter of America's playw-
right-laureate, Biloxi Blues con-
tinues the story of Eugene Morris
Jerome which began in Neil
Simon's 1983 hit, "Brighton Beach
Memoirs."

The Depression Years are
gone, it is 1943 and Eugene, now
19 years old, has gone off to war

Atlanta Returns To

to fight not only the enemy, but
the rigors of basic training, the
heat, the insects, unfriendly
sergeants and the absurdity of
army life, while he experiences
the awakening of his own intellec-
tual growth in Biloxi, Mississippi.
It is simply a story with which all
of us can identify, whether we
went through basic training or not;
because in the American experi-
ence, all of us know and love
somebody who did go through it.

William Ragsdale plays the bud-
ding writer, Eugene, who is so
busy recording all that occurs in
his notebook he hardly notices life
is passing and he is growing up.
Sgt. Merwin L. Toomey, the hard-
nosed career man who takes
"shave tails" and tries to make
them into soldiers, is played by
John Finn. Andrew Polk plays
Arnold Epstein, the philosopher

All the Fair's a stage at the first annual Georgia Renaissance
Festival

Come to the first annual Geor-
gia Renaissance Festival with an
appetite, because the food is fill-
ing enough to split the seams of
a suit of armor.

This outdoor celebration of life
in a 16th century English village
takes place every Saturday and
Sunday from May 3 through June
8, plus Memoiial Day (May 26).
Festival hours are 10:30 a.m. until
7 p.m.

A major portion of the Festival's
charm is its devotion to authentic-
ity; hence hot dogs, burgers and
cotton candy won't be sold. In-
stead, the Festival's menu fea-

tures rib-sticking fare like giant
turkey legs, steak-on-a-stake. and
fish and chips. Adults will find that
hearty English ale washes it down
nicely. Refreshments also include
the century-beverage, Coca Cola.

Sporting patrons will enjoy the
Festival's games of skill and chal-
lenge. The King's Joust, for exam-
ple, involves riding a wooden
horse down a cable and trying to
spear a ring form the hand of a
wooden knight. Catapulting
Frogs, Royal Bag Toss, Gag a
Dragon, and Soak a Bloke/Dunk
a Wench are popular, too.
Elephant rides are also available.

In general the performance was

a success. The performers were
well-groomed and held a profes-

the company. However, the com-

Paige Floyd, Gwendolyn Palmer,

should be recognized for the time

Jill Owens #2 In District 25 Tournament

By Pilar Duque and
Mary Carter Whitten

JILL OWENS ISTHE NUMBER
TWO PLAYER IN THE DIS-
TRICT!!! On May 5th and 6th.
students from Florida and Geor-
gia battled one another in the
District #25 Tennis Tournament,
held on the campus of Flagler
College in St. Augustine. Florida.
The Agnes Scott team members
that attended this event were Jill
Owens and Tracy McMahon, ac-
companied by coach Cindy
Peterson.

In the first round Tracy, suffering
from a shoulder injury, lost to the
number one seed in the second
flight. Jennifer Ciser. Coach
Peterson cited this injury as the
single most important factor
which kept Tracy from playing to
her highest potential in singles
and which hindered doubles play
with Jill. The ASC doubles team
lost the match 6-4. 1-6. 6-3 to
Brenau.

Jill, ranked eleventh in the dis-
trict, won her first match with
scores of 6-0, 6-0, and com-
mented that she felt pretty good
after doing so. She felt like she
could beat the #1 seed in her

flight, Adrian Benoit, a student
originally from Canada but playing
for Flagler. However, that chance
did not come because Adrian de-
faulted leaving Jill with a record-
book win of 6-0. 6-0.

The default placed Jill in the
finals to face the NAIA nationally
ranked number two seed, Jeanine
Parkinson, a New Zealand stu-
dent playing for Columbus Col-
lege. Jill says that she felt she
played really well, but the match
was just very tough. She lost 7-5.
6-0 but. as Tracy put it. "Jill played
great especially in the first set.

Scotties Shape Up

by Julie Hartline

Sometimes I think the only exer-
cise I get is when I have a class
at 8:30. wake up at 8:20. and do
the one-minute sprint from my
dorm to Buttrick. I usually arrive
on time, but it takes five to ten
minutes to catch my breath. I
think to myself. "Am I ever out of
shape! I need to do something
about this." But days, weeks, even
months go by before I think about
it again. Can you relate to this?

A lot of students on campus are
able to relate to a lack of exercise,
but wait before you put all the
Scotties into this category. If you

get up between 6:30 and 7:00 one
morning, you will be surprised at
the number of people out and
about. Numerous students work
out. jog. or participate in some
form of exercise during the early
hours of the day.

But for those of us who don't
believe in the old saying "Early to
bed. early to rise there is
still hope! Throughout the day
people are in the weight room, in
the pool, on the soccer field, or
some place getting a little exer-
cise. Even if you aren't able to
motivate yourself to work out on
your own time, you can enroll in
a PE. class. Exercise can be fun
with the right attitude.

them know it."

When asked how she felt about
the tournament as a whole. Jill
told me that she was really glad
she got a chance to play there,
because "there were many very
good players from around Florida,
and you can't find players that
good in Georgia." Of course she
also mentioned: "It was fun to go
to Florida!" Coach Peterson agreed
that her students got "good experi-
ence playing in a national compet-
ition against nationally ranked
players."

National rankings are not that

impressive unless players can
back them up with performance
and Jill certainly proved her na-
tional status at the tournament.
Coach Peterson exclaimed of Jill's
24-3 year record and of her recent
performance: "As a freshman. Jill
surpassed any expectations that
I would have had. I anticipate that
she will go on to play in national
tournaments."

The District#25 tournament
ended a very successful season
for the ASC Tennis Team and
there are bigger plans for next
year.

Students Summer Abroad

by Beverly Garcia

Studying in a foreign country is
one of the most valuable experi-
ences a student can have and we
at Agnes Scott College offer this
great opportunity. This year over
30 students, mostly sophomores
and juniors, will be learning about
different cultures and some
speaking languages other than
their every day English. This has
been the first year that ASC has
been able to offer a Global Aware-
ness Program. John Studstill has
been the person working diligently
with faculty and students in ap-
proving and implementing these
programs. Thus far it seems like
it has been a great success.

The trips planned for this sum-
mer include: India, Mexico, Ger-
many and a handful of students
going to London with other institu-
tions due to a lack of ASC student
interest. Nevertheless last minute
preparations are underway and
students are ready Most trips will
last between five and six weeks.

Students will have the opportunity
to take courses and travel
throughout the country. Those
traveling to Mexico will study at
the University of Cuernavaca out-
side Mexico City. Dr. Shaw of the
Spanish department will be at-
tending but only for the first week.
There are ten students going to
Germany and they will study in
Marburg with a pre tour of Prague.
The India trip will certainly be well
attended with fifteen students.
They will study both Sociology
and History courses taught by Dr.
Campbell and Dr. Jones. An
added trip for them will be a trip
to Nepal though they will be con-
centrating in India. When Inter-
viewing Dr. Studstill he com-
mented on how "for the first year
it has been very successful with
over thirty students studying
abroad." All this student participa-
tion is certainly something to be
proud of.

The Global Awareness Commit-
tee consists of ten members, stu-
dents, faculty and administrators.

fered in these are approved by the

in the works for five new programs
including the Far East, Africa,
South America and Europe. Dr.
Studstill is also working towards
a Semester Abroad Program
which would enable students to
study abroad for only one semes-
ter instead of a whole summer. An
exchange program is also being
considered with the University of
Maine in which two ASC students
would attend in return for two of
their students. The cost for this
exchange program will more or
less be the same as attending
ASC and paying tuition. Although
most of these plans are tentative
it is reassuring to know that some
attention is being placed on the
importance of studying abroad.

Studstill spoke of were dealing

with the academically sound
courses and of combining the
value of earning credits with a
fulfilling cultural experience.
Another concern is making this
program available to all students
and to offer scholarships and
loans. This will be a summer full

of learning and fun for those who
will be participating in this pro-
gram. Dr. Studstill stated that "For
the Global Awareness Program to
be successful, everyone must be
a part of it, students, faculty and
administrators must make it
work."

Honor Court Tells Latest

by Jacquline Stromberg

After having its first fun-filled
yet productive quarter in office
whiz by, the 1986-1987 Honor
Court wishes to make several an-
nouncements to the ASC commu-
nity. We hope that everyone will
share in our enthusiasm for what's
new and will also give careful
consideration to the concerns ex-
pressed regarding some "old
busi-ness."

First the concerns, the Library
staff brought it to the Court's atten-
tion that there seems to be a great
increase in the number of books
taken from the library without
being checked out. There does
not seem to be any obvious
reason for failure to check out
books because the ASC library
has such an easy and reasonable
check-out policy. In the future, if
you take any materials from the
library please be sure to check
them out at the circulation desk.
Also, please remember that
periodicals (anything from
"Mademoiselle" to "The Sociolog-
ical Quarterly") are not to be taken
from the library at all. This will
greatly help the library staff in

keeping account of the library's
resources and will also serve the
whole community by providing
greater access to reading materials.

Any student who lives in a resi-
dence hall is familiar with the
general concern that many indi-
viduals are having personal items
and money taken from their
rooms. RTC's and day students
are also finding that purses and
bookbags can not always be left
unattended. Because we live in
an atmosphere where the indi-
vidual is given the benefit of the
doubt, there is no direct way in
which the Honor Court can protect
students from flagrant disregard
of the Honor Code. In an effort to
avoid the last resort of doing resi-
dence hall searches, Honor Court
urges all students to consider the
magnitude of stealing: what it
says about the individual who is
stealing and what it says about
the Honor System. We hope it will
become clear that there is no
reason for the stealing of food,
clothes, money etc. We also hope
that the necessity of fulfilling our
dual responsibility to the Honor
Code by reporting any incidents
of stealing will become obvious.

Now on to the exciting news:
THE USE OF SPELLSTAR IS

NOT IN VIOLATION OF THE
HONOR CODE. Upon recom-
mendation of the English depart-
ment, the Spellstar function of
Wordstar word processing has
been designated a legitimate way
to proof pledged assignments.
(The only problem is we now have
no excuse for misspelled words.)

Finally, Honor Court "is pleased
to announce" that ASC will be the
host of an Honor System Confer-
ence to be held January 29-Feb-
ruary 1, 1987. Approximately 60
representatives of schools with
Honor Codes will be on campus
to discuss issues relevant to the
maintenance of Honor Systems.
The Conference is conceived as
a campus-wide event which
everyone is encouraged to parti-
cipate in. For more information as
to how you can become a part of
the Conference in its planning
stages, please contact any Honor
Court member.

Honor Court wishes everyone
a fantastic, relaxing, peaceful
summer. And, we look forward to
August when the entire commu-
nity will be engaged in welcoming
the Class of 1990 and in dem-
onstrating to the new class that

life.

place in South America since the
Spanish invasion. In 1492 the
Spaniards discovered Central
America and Dr. Quan jokingly
pointed out that "Latin America
had been existing peacefully for
thousands of years before being
discovered." Spanish colonization
resulted in the emergence of two
major classes of people: Latifun-

dia, Spanish aristocracy who
owned a large part of the most
fertile land, and the Minifundia,
peasants of Indian origin who
owned small plots of lands which
they cultivated to provide food for
themselves. By and by the peas-
ant population grew to an extent
where there was not enough land
to provide enough food for the

community and they were forced
to work for poor wages and the
Latifundia who took advantage of
the cheap labor. This in turn
broadened the gap between the
rich and the poor, and there has
not been much change in this
situation. As is the case in most

TO THE POINT

This time a year ago the Profile had a very different air to it. It
was stuck rather inauspiciously in a cramped room in Rebekah Rec
Room.

It was equipped with schizophrenic light fixtures that could never
quite decide whether they wanted to be on or off— with no regard
to the position of the switch. The darkroom was a dark closet.

All staff included, about five people were putting together the
newspaper. Editors wrote everything plus worked on layouts. One
photographer took all the pictures. And everyone stayed up until
six a.m. on deadline nights.

Last issue thirty-three people contributed to the compilation of
the paper. We have a full editorial staff of nine people, a staff of
photographers (with a palatial darkroom), an invaluable copy editor,
and a business staff to beat the band.

It is knowledge like this that makes my stay here at Agnes Scott
meaningful to me. It is the group effort of the publication of the
Profile that makes me feel like I make a difference. Seeing the end
product of our labors is more gratifying to me than any A I could
have gotten on any paper.

At Agnes Scott we tread a perilous line between personal;
achievement and obsessive behavior. How many times have you
missed a good movie or a play because you had to read every last
word of Othello? How many times have you ommitted going out for
a drink with friends to read that poli sci assignment?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not slighting scholarly pursuits. Theoret-
ically, that's what college is all about. But theoretically is the
operative word here.

What I want from college is growth and maturity. And while I can
get discipline from burying my nose in a book, it's my interpersonal
skills from relating to people in group situations (such as the Profile)
that I think will matter in the long run.

I don't want to, but I'm beginning to resent our educational system
that endorses academic overachievers — almost as if those of us
who are less academically motivated are of lesser value as human
beings.

When the staff of the Profile puts an ad in endorsing work on the
paper, they are not just space fillers. The staff realizes the impor-
tance of our work, an we want to incorporate as many people into
our efforts as possible.

As we all go on hiatus in a week, I encourage each and everyone
of us as students to re-evaluate what we want from our college
experience and act accordingly.

Feminist Concerns

Some interesting points were
raised in the May 16 article on
feminism, and I feel compelled to
comment on two of them.

The first was the remark by Mr.
Wilson that the whistles of the
construction workers were "com-
plimentary.*" not "derogatory."
Should I be pleased by that re-
mark? Am I expected to welcome
the sub-articulate "compliments"
of total strangers? My friends and
I have all noticed that we receive
many more of these "compli-
ments" when we are dressed in
jeans and t-shirts, looking
younger and less professional,
i.e. more easily intimidated. That

fact alone should make us see the
true intent of the whistles, blowing
horns, and shouts we've all had
to put up with all our lives.

The other comment that piqued
my interest was the one by the
student who felt threatened by
feminism because she wanted to
choose whether or not she should
stay home with her children.
Someone else rightly commented
that feminism supports the right
of women to make choices about
their lives. What I want to know
is, when do we start supporting
the right of men to make those
choices? My husband works part
time, and I work full time. There-
fore our 1 -year-old spends most

of her waking hours in his care
instead of mine. It has been a
positive experience for all of us:
Alan is self-confident and well-
versed in child care because I'm
not there to say."Oh, just let me
take care of it;" I'm relieved to
know my child is in the hands of
someone who cares about her,
and Maria has that all too rare
advantage of day to day com-
panionship with her father.
Perhaps we need to be aware that
there are even more choices to
be made than we often think.

Admissions Volunteer Program

Throughout the year, students
have demonstrated their desire to
participate more actively in the
Admissions' recruitment process.
Due to this interest, the Admis-
sions Office has designed a Volun-
teer Program which will incorpo-
rate the talents of interested stu-
dents. Twenty-five are needed for
the program which will take place
this summer.

Generally, the program will sim-
ply require the volunteer to pro-
vide informative entertainment in
her hometown for prospective stu-
dents. The entertainment will take
the form of a cook-out, and the
information will be provided
through a slide show/cassette pre-
sentation. The Admissions Office
will provide any written materials
which the volunteer may need to
answer questions, as well as a

slide projector and tape player
when necessary.

For those of you who really
would like to have some input in
the recruiting process, we encour-
age your participation. Contact
with current students is one of the
most effective means we have to

interest prospective students in
Agnes Scott.

Please fill out the form below
and return it to Jennifer Cooper in
the Admissions Office by Wednes-
day, June 4. You will be notified
by the third week in June concern-
ing your status as a volunteer.

Overworked And Underpayed?

by Louisa Parker

Overworked and underpaid?
How 'bout just overworked? This
complaint has been ringing
through the halls of Buttrick for
over two decades.

Recently, this concern has
been raised by the Second Cen-
tury Committee and addressed
by the Faculty Collegium of April
10, 1986. The Collegium com-
posed a list of questions, issues,
concerns, and possible solutions.
One of its major concerns was
whether or not students are actu-
ally overworked or if they are
merely perceiving that they are
overworked. Professor Hogan,
the chair of the professional de-
velopment committee of the Fac-
ulty Collegium, devised a survey
of workloads to try to answer this
question. Randomly being distri-
buted by teachers and students,
the survey also tries to determine
if students feel overworked in all
their classes or just in a selected
few.

What is the professional de-
velopment committee's goal and

how will they use this survey? The
committee would like to break
away from the past by not only
discussing solutions, but by imple-
menting them also. If the commit-
tee discovers a problem, their first
step will be to publish their find-
ings so that the rest of the faculty
can be aware of any problems
that might exist. Since we are
changing to the semester system
next year, the survey will not be
able to inspire specific recommen-
dations. Nevertheless, this stu-
dent overload survey will start the
groundwork for and be a founda-
tion for future research and im-
provements in this area. Profes-
sor Hogan thinks that surveying
now and next fall is important: "It's
good for us to start being on top
of things now because it will give
us a head start on future planning."

So here's your chance. Ever
wanted to scream about this
mountain of homework you're
buried under? Want something
done about the 275 papers that
you have due nextThursday? Just
fill out these surveys, put them in
Box 305, and start the wheels in
motion toward a lighter workload.

Crick Explains Sleep

by Heather Rogers

On May 7 the renowned British
biologist, Dr. Francis Crick, lec-
tured at Georgia Tech as a part of
the college's centennial celebra-
tion. In the fully packed lecture
hall, Dr. Crick explained his re-
cently developed theories on the
role of memory in REM sleep and
dreaming.

Dr. Crick showed a series of
slides which included a diagram
of his model of how memory is
stored. He theorizes that
memories are randomly mixed to-
gether and condensed in dream-

ing. These memories somehow
become "watered down" in the
process of dreaming which serves
to protect the brain from overload.
Dr. Crick also discussed the impor-
tance of REM sleep in humans
and most other mammals.

Dr. Crick is best known for his
research and discovery of the
molecular structure of DNA. He
shares the 1962 Nobel prize for
developing the DNA model with
Dr. James Watson and Dr.
Maurice Wilkins.

Margaret Lackey, a junior bio-
logy major, along with many other
Agnes Scott students took advan-
tage of "the chance of a lifetime"
to hear Dr. Crick speak.

stressed the adoption of

scheme resulted in a rapid growth

situation was clearly better. But
the expectations were short lived

themselves poorer than before.

Feeling Exam Pressure

by Vee Kimbrell

Well, it's almost here; that
dreaded pressure everyone feels
during exam-time. What causes
it anyway? Is there really a lot of
stress placed on students to do
well on their finals, or is it all in
their minds? The fact that there is
a lot of pressure during exam-
time is a very real and scary
thought. It is not imagined in any-
one's mind at all!

Many students feel that the
amount of stress felt during
exams depends very much on the
individual. For instance, Aimee
Peeples pointed out that some
students who have a solid grade
going into their exams are more
likely to do better on the final than
the students who are on the bor-
derline and uncertain of their
grades. "The final can either make
or break your grade." Also, the
more a student worries about how
they are going to do on an exam,
the more they make themselves
nervous. This has an even worse
effect on the grade at the end of
the quarter because the student
ends up worrying more about "the
grade" than actually learning the
material itself. So much time is
spent by students being worried
or tense when they could spend
that time enjoying what they are
studying.

Another reason for the added
pressure of exams is the fact that
there is so little time to do all the
work that is required at the end of
the quarter. Eleanor Dill, who is a
freshman, feels that she would
not be so pressured during her
exams if they were spread out
more. "Think about it. Wouldn't it
be easier to take one exam on
one subject in one weeks time
rather than five exams all crammed
in within five days?" The pressure
is even worse when the week
before exams is spent writing and
turning in last-minute assign-

ments. All of this tension to hurry
and finish with school so that
summer break can begin does
begin to take it's toll with time.
Soon, the pressures start to inter-
fere with more than just one's
grades.

Looking at a professor's point
of view, Dr. Hogan, who is a
Psychology professor, intuitively
feels that most students do not
perform as well on finals as they
do on regular tests because there
are so many subjects to study and
so little time to devote to each
one. However, as he looked on
past grade reports, he noticed
that there was not much of a
change among final grades when
it came right down to it. Out of a
class of 27, only 8 students went
down, 5 went up, and 14 stayed
the same. So what does this
mean? In effect, it means that the
pressure applied during finals
does depend on the individual! It
is up to each student to decide
how much time they want to
spend studying for an exam in-
stead of worrying about it.

Some Students like Mary Ruth
Oliver for example, prefer not to
think about how much the exam
affects her final grade. She does
not spend her time pondering over
the possibilities of making a good
or bad grade, she simply studies,
forgets the pressure, and does
the best she can on the test. "You
can't let yourself be too over-
whelmed with the pressure, you
have to let it go and just keep a
positive attitude at all times."

The pressures of exams can be
unbearable at the end of the quar-
ter, but where would we all be
without self-scheduled exams?
We are free to take our exams
whenever we want without the
added pressure of having two
exams back to back in one day.
We have a more relaxed atmos-
phere so we can do our best and
actually enjoy what we learn. Just
remember this, no one expects
more of you than yourself so relax
and GOOD LUCK!

Make Way For The Freshmen

by Jill Jordan

Some heard about it at the
convocation on Wednesday, Feb-
ruary 26. Some heard it from
friends. Some heard it at the dorm
meeting that Wednesday night.
But whether you heard it through
the grapevine or from the horse's
mouth, or whether you are read-
ing it here for the first time, the
news is out . . . freshmen will be
housed in Rebekah and Inman
dormitories next year.

Although Inman has tradition-
ally housed students from all
classes, this will be the first year
in at least ten in which Rebekah
will house freshman.

In an interview with Mrs. Gue
Hudson (Dean of Students) and
Miss Molly Merrick (Assistant
Dean of Students), they explained
the diversity of ways ASC has
housed its women in the past. For
many years ASC owned small
cottages where Walters and Win-
ship now stand, where groups of
ten to eighteen students lived.
These students were usually
juniors and seniors, but at times
underclassmen were also housed
in the cottages. The last of these
fifteen houses was torn down in
the early seventies, because they
were no longer practical or neces-
sary with the coming of Walters
and Winship. As each of these
two dorms were built, it was cus-
tomary for the upperclassmen to
choose to live in the fancy new
dorms. During these years
freshmen lived in Rebekah and
even some in Main, putting an
end to today's popular accusation
"but freshmen have never lived in
Rebekah" and therefore "its just
not right." As the glamour of the
new dorms wore off, up-
perclassmen chose to go back to
the roomy, high ceilings and un-

usual windows of Main and Rebe-
kah, leaving freshmen and sopho-
mores with Winship, Walters,
Inman and Hopkins.

About five years ago the idea
of mixing residence halls with stu-
dents from all classes was
brought up. At that time, it was
attempted, but the size of the
freshman class was too small to
allow them to be distributed in
different dorms without feeling
lost. It is necessary for one-third
of the dorm to be freshman for
them to "establish identity as a
freshman" said Dean Hudson.
The idea was put on hold for a
couple of years, and when the
committee for the Second Cen-
tury began planning the things
they would change in ASC's sec-
ond century, they felt mixed hous-
ing would be to the students ad-
vantage. Dean Hudson explains
the decision saying it is "a way
(for freshmen) to get to know
upperclassmen in a different way."
The school feels that the essence
of Agnes Scott can be better
taught to freshmen from those
who have already established
themselves, such as up-
perclassmen. The honor system,
academic excellence and tradi-
tions such as Capping, Tapping
and Black Cat are better under-
stood if the experience is shared
with an upperclassman. Students
get to know each other in a special
way when they live together.
"Sharing a bathroom is a unique
experience," laughed Dean
Hudson.

"To promote unity of the school,
I think we should have all classes
in all the dorms," agreed Kim
Vicors, a present ASC student,
but not all the students agree. The
two questions at stake are first, is
it good for the freshmen? and
second, is it fair to the up-
perclassmen, but others do not.

"It can be really intimidating!" says
ment to mix freshmen with up-
perclassmen, but others do not.
"It can be really intimidating." says
Louisa Parker, a freshman, and
another freshman wishing to re-
main anonymous reflects the dan-
gers of the integration saying "The
upperclassmen around me have
taught me to get away with as
much as possible."

The more heated debate
around campus is whether it is fair
to the students who donl get to
live in Rebekah or Inman because
of the freshmen there. One stu-
dent was bold enough to blurt "If
I get stuck in Hopkins and I see
a freshman who is in Inman, I'm
not gonna want to get to know her
because it will make me ill." Other
students felt living in a nice, newly
renovated dormatory is some-
thing to look forward to, a treat for
upperclassmen. Because of the
lottery system, seniors will have
first choice, juniors second
choice, sophomores third choice
and freshmen will be placed.
Sophomores will be the students
living mainly in Winship and Hop-
kins (Walters will be closed for
renovation). "Sophomores are the
ones who are always caught in
the crunch" said Dean Merrick.

But considering the room in the
renovated dorms, Dean Hudson
expects "most, if not all of the
Juniors can get in one." There will
be approximately room for 208
student between Main, Rebekah
and Inman, not including the ap-
proximately fifty freshmen to be in
Rebekah and Inman. It should be
kept in mind that should the class
of 1990 be too small to include
enough of them in each dorm,
they will not be housed in Rebe-
kah and Inman. Dean Hudson
insists that the decision was "not
something we made hastily" and*
adds "I think they will be pleas-
antly surprised."

Guthrie Studies Chaucer

Hands Across America took place on May
25, 1986 uniting the U.S. in spirit if not
in actual hands!

by Heather Rogers

Dr. Steve Guthrie, a first year
English teacher at Agnes Scott,
has been given a research schol-
arship by the Professional De-
velopment Committee. Dr. Guthrie
will spend this summer research-
ing an area in literature of great
interest to him: Geoffery Chaucer
and the middle French poets. In
particular, Dr. Guthrie will study
the premier fourteenth century
poet— William de Machaut — and
his influence on Chaucer's writ-
ings. Dr. Guthrie is amused by the
private jokes Chaucer played with
Machaut's poetry Unfortunately,
Machaut was much too old to play
Chaucer's game. Chaucer even
"borrowed" one of Machaut's nar-
rative characters and used him in
the Canterbury Tales. Dr. Guthrie
remarked, "The way he steals
things from Machaut shows me
they are kindred spirits."

Dr. Guthrie plans to write one
or two papers on his findings and
would like to use his research as
a basis for expanding the study
of Chaucer at Agnes Scott to
include the study of poets such
as Boccachio and Machaut.

Summer's Finally Coming!

Pilger Works For Peanuts

by Wendy Parker

As summer vacation ap-
proaches, Agnes Scott students
and faculty are finalizing plans for
what will be a shorter summer
than usual. Dr. John Pilger, Assis-
tant Professor of Biology at Agnes
Scott is no exception. Before va-
cation has even arrived, Dr.
Pilger's summer schedule is al-
ready full. He will be continuing in
two areas of research already
begun and starting one new area
of research. Pilger's area of exper-
tise is a marine organism known
as the peanut worm. He will be
using his knowledge of the peanut
worm in the three facets of re-
search in which he will be working
this summer.

Dr. Pilger's first area of research
will be the continuation of a re-
search corporation grant he re-
ceived. He has been studying
metamorphosis in peanut worms.
According to Dr. Pilger, the larval
and adult stages of metamor-
phosis are quite different. "Scien-
tists have no idea of how or-
ganisms get from one stage of
metamorphosis to another,"
stated Pilger in a recent interview.
Pilger believes that understand-
ing the transition from larvae to
adult in simpler organisms like the
peanut worm, will enable science
to better understand the transition

in more complex life forms.

Second on Dr. Pilger's list this
summer is to do follow up work
on independent study research
begun last year by Agnes Scott
graduate Cathleen Fox. Cathleen's
work involved determining en-
vironmental factors that control
the reproductive cycle in peanut
worms. This summer, Pilger will
be putting together all of the data
gathered by Cathleen, and ready-
ing it for presentation and pub-
lication.

Finally, Dr. Pilger plans to work
as a Research Collaborator with
a colleague at Clemson Univer-
sity. Aided by a grant from the
National Science Foundation,
Pilger and his colleague will be
testing new information on the
excretory organs of invertebrates.
This research will be based on a
study done in 1945. While working
in this area of research, Pilger will
be traveling between Atlanta,
Clemson, and the Florida Smith-
sonian Marine Station and will be
working in laboratories at both
Agnes Scott and Emory for his
first two areas of research.

If time allows, Dr. Pilger hopes
to travel to the Bahamas also this
summer. He will be investigating
the possibility of using the island
of San Salvador, where Christopher
Columbus first landed, as the lo-
cation for the Marine biology lab
offered during the summer by
Agnes Scott.

This summer Agnes Scott college sends a group of faculty
and students to Marburg, Germany as a part of our newly
formed Global Awareness Program. Pictured here are the
participants. Back row left to right: Hong Tran, Jennifer
Cooper, Elizabeth Newkirk, Beth Webb, Dr. Gunther
Bicknese. Front row left to right: Dale, Gerlinda Steinke,

by Lisa Gugino

With finals approaching and
deadlines looming close The Pro-
file decided to focus on lighter
thoughts, thoughts of summer fun
and summer jobs. When Agnes
Scott students were questioned
about their summer plans we got
a variety of answers. Most Scot-
ties planned to keep up their hec-
tic pace with summer employment
but just about all had hopes for
sun, fun and relaxation.

Kecia Cunningham is staying
on campus this summer in order
to work in the admissions depart-
ment. Others, such as Agnes
Parker, SusarWuave and Debbie

Wilson are going as far away as
possible, or at least as far as
Germany. Then their are those
that are attending the Indian trip.
Karen Youngner, Jennifer Cooper,
and Jackie Stromberg all ex-
pressed great excitement about
this chance in a life time. Susie
Somerlot is not going quite as far
away but her excitement is just as
genuine when she speaks of her
Marine Biology Internship in
Florida. Carolyn Sigman jokingly
explained her plans "to attend a
terrorist training camp in Mexico."
Then there are those students
whose plans are to replenish their
drooping checking accounts with
summer jobs.

Kimberly Baker said, "I'm plan-
ning to work at Belk but I'm also

going to have fun planning my
sister's wedding." Julie Hartline
said, "I'll be pounding the pave-
ment for awhile looking for a job
but I have every intention of laying
by the pool in my spare time."
Laurie Adams, without flinching,
proclaimed that she would be
working three jobs. Elizabeth
Adams is returning to her home
town to work with the Eastman
Kodak Company, a long time sum-
mer employer of Agnes Scott
students.

Ebie Blizzard probably summed
it up best with her response, "I
hope to do nothing as much as
possible." After a long and gruel-
ing year of tests and papers The
Profile wishes the students, fac-
ulty and staff a wonderful summer
"of nothingness."

Most people traveling in motor concerned about the fact that they
vehicles today are not particularly might become involved in an acci-

dent. They fail to take advantage
of the single most effective means
of preventing death and injuries
presently available to everyone,
the safety belt. Recent interest in
the life and cost-saving advan-
tages of using safety belts and
child safety seats have united gov-
ernments, safety organizations,
industry, the medical profession,
and most other segments of our
society in undertaking nation-
wide efforts to encourage drivers
and passengers to use these
devices.

-Present day lap/shoulder belts
are 45 to 55 percent effective in
reducing moderate to serious in-
juries and 40 to 50 percent effec-
tive in eliminating motor vehicle
occupant fatalities.

-Between 9,200 and 11,800 ad-
ditional lives could be saved each
year with regular use of lap and
shoulder belts by all passenger
car front seat occupants.

-Child safety seats are cur-
rently saving at least 160 lives per
year.

-With full and proper usage of
child restraints, 370 additional
children's lives could be saved per
year.

-With full and proper use of
child safety belts from 39,000 to
108,000 injuries to children could
be avoided.

Buckle up America, it could
save your life.

Michelle Malone: Spotlight On ASC Talent

Michelle Malone takes her music with her everywhere she
goes.

Blithe Spirit, Superb!

by Rebecca Bradley

The Blackfriars' presentation of
Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit was
a superb production to end the
1985-86 theater season at Agnes
Scott.

The play told the story of an
author, Charles (played by Jesse
Wise), who wanted to write a
book about a lunatic medium.
With this in mind, he and his
second wife, Ruth (played by Beth
Mullis), invited the town medium,
Madame Arcati, Rebekah Martin,
and two of their friends, Dr. and
Mrs. Bradman (Mike Florence
and Deborah Merean), to dinner
and for a seance because Charles
wanted a first-hand experience
with the subject of his book.

To his dismay and resulting in
Ruths death, the seance brought
back Charles' first wife's ghost,
Elvira. From here the plot has a
fun twist about the trauma
Charles, Ruth, and Elvira en-
counter by all being together. Elvira
schemes to kill Charles so he may
live with her in purgatory but in-
stead kills Ruth who is also
brought back at another seance.

The play finally ends when
Edith, the maid (Meg Bryant) is
found responsible for keeping the
ghost in Charles' presence.
Madame Arcati finally frees the
spirits to return to their own kind
and Charles leaves to find peace
without either wife to bother him.

The set was a quaint living
room with complete details down
to the glowing embers in the fire-
place. The design and craftsman-
ship were impeccable.

The actors and actresses were
for the most part very convincing.
Meg Bryant was hilarious as a
nervous maid and practically stole

the show with her rendition of the
song, "Always." That was a rare
performance for the ASC campus
that will never be forgotten.

Another minor character that
nearly stole the show was Dr.
Bradman. Mike Florence did not
need many lines; his facial expres-
sions were enough to make any-
one laugh. His performance was
superb and I felt it was unfortunate
he did not have a larger part.

The other actor, Jesse Wise,
was not as successful in his role
as Mr. Florence unfortunately. He
was okay, but the rest of the cast
was far past him on being believ-
able and entertaining. His main
problem was stumbling on lines.
It got to the point where I worried
every time he spoke for fear that
he would stutter again. Over all
he pulled Charles off, but more
refinement would have helped
considerable.

The two wives, Ruth and Elvira,
were played in an excellent con-
trast. Jeanine Dwinell could not
have played a more simple-
minded; spoiled young lady if she
had tried. Beth Mullis was an
equal treat to witness as she un-
folded as Ruth. One of the most
hilarious roles was that played by
Rebekah Martin. This is one ac-
tress who can play them all. She
was so serious in her two previous
roles in the Blackfriars' produc-
tions that it was refreshing and
impressive to see her attack such
a role as dim-witted Madame
Arcati with such a believable air.
Her facial expressions and move-
ment across the stage were terrific.

The whole cast had great ac-
cents and personalities through-
out the play. The costumes were
well done as well as lighting and
music.

Blithe Spirit was an entertain-
ing evening and a great end to the
1985-86 Blackfriar season.

by Sarah Napier

What goes together just like
Pancho and Cisco? ASC
freshman Michelle Malone and
her guitar, that's what. If you fre-
quent clubs like the Dugout, the
Purple Parrot, the Little Five
Points Pub, Rick's or even the
dining hall, you may have heard
Michelle sing and play her guitar.

Michelle, a native of Atlanta,
has been playing the guitar and
sax, and singing since she was
ten. She was involved in her high
school band and also sang at her
church. Since attending ASC
Michelle has played drums for
London Fog and participated in
the music departments produc-
tion of, "The Marriage of Figaro",
and played in several clubs in
Atlanta, often with the "Indigo
Girls".

I managed to get Michelle to
stop playing her guitar for a little
while and I talked with her about

her music, her songs, her experi-
ences playing in Atlanta clubs,
and some of her plans for the
future. Michelle writes most of her
own songs; she only uses two
"covers". Michelle's voice reminds
me of blues music, and she is an
accomplished guitarist. Michelle
describes her music as " . . . feel-
good music like a sunset on Car-
mel Beach." When I asked her to
sum up her style Michelle thought
for a minute and said, "It's just
me."

Michelle shared with me some
of her thoughts on writing her own
songs. The music Michelle writes
is very personal and "... in one
way or another about something
that has happened to me." On
playing her songs for an audi-
ence, Michelle said, "Whenever
you play you are giving all of
yourself because what you write
is what you feel."

We also talked about some of
Michelle's goals as a musician.
She told me, "I'm not shooting for
the stars, I just want to play my
music and if I get payed for it that's

fantastic." Michelle said her music
"... makes me feel good and
that's basically what I want it to do
for everybody."

Michelle's experience playing
Atlanta clubs has helped her feel
more comfortable on stage and
given her a larger audience to
play for. Playing with the Indigo
Girls, Michelle feels, has also
been great because "... It's the
perfect setting for me, our music
is not the same but it has the
same feeling and we have the
same goals for our music." I have
seen Michelle at the Dugout and
Rick's and have really enjoyed her
songs and charismatic style.

Michelle has many ideas about
music at ASC like booking some
Atlanta bands forT.G.I.F.'s, or hav-
ing regular, informal Friday after-
noon concerts. This summer you'll
find Michelle playing at the Little
Five Points Pub on July 29, and
also at the Bucket Shop and the
Purple Parrot. I feel we need to
support the arts at ASC both on
and off campus so y'all come on
out and hear Michelle; she's great!

Music Department Plays Figaro

by Dolly Purvis

On May 10, the Music Depart-
ment staged a workshop version
of Act 1 1 of The Marriage of Figaro

by W. A. Mozart.

Katie Milligan, a senior music
major, thrilled the audience with
her electrifying voice and ani-
mated expression as she took on
the role of the Countess Almaviver.
Dr. Ted (T. K.) Mathews played the
Countess' jealous husband and
proved that he still has a voice as

well as the ability to direct the
Glee Club and to profess music.

Michelle Malone daringly low-
ered her voice and took on the
title role of Figaro. Molly McCray,
a freshmen, allowed those pres-
ent to bask in the aura of her
sweetly melodious soprano voice
while portraying Susanna, Fig-
aro's betrothed.

Michelle Ingram, who played
Cherubino, the young boy-servant
madly in love with the Countess,
showed her vocal ability and even
took a flying leap out of a second-
story window into the geraniums

of Antonio, Roxanne Reed.

Barbara Breuer and Lisa Duerr
lent their voices to the comedy as
Marcellina and Basilio respectively.

Jeanine Dwinell narrated;
Rowena Renn directed; and
Robin Hensley accompanied to
make this effort a success.

The comedy, brought to the
campus by vocal students was a
refreshing break during the end-
of-the-year rush.

Editor's Note: The opera was
performed by a second cast at the
final chapel of the year on May 23.

THE MET— Last Time In Atlanta

by Kimberly Baker

The Metropolitan Opera re-
turned to Atlanta one last time
with seven performances from
May 19-24 as part of its "Season
of Romance." The Met, which is
in its 103rd season, has included
Atlanta on its touring schedule for
76 years. Their week in Atlanta
has become an annual celebra-
tion for opera buffs in the South-
east. People from neighboring
states and all of Georgia have
been making a yearly pilgrimage
each May to enjoy the elaborate
productions. Old friends who are
separated by distance are often
reunited yearly for the performances.

Half the fun of a Met opera is
the social aspect of the evening.
Many men wear tuxedos and
many women wear long dresses.

One rarely sees so many sequins
and jewels in one place. The Met's
week in town is a time of one's
finery and admiring the finery of
others.

The elaborateness of the audi-
ence is topped only by the gran-
deur on the Civic Center stage.
The performances are full-scale
productions complete with elabo-
rate sets and costumes. A differ-
ent opera is presented each night
requiring a completely different
set. Quite a few trailers are
needed to transport the sets from
city to city.

The Tuesday night performance
of Cavalleria Rusticana was an

impressive show. It told the story
of Santuzza who is rejected by
Alfio for Lola, a married woman,
and her attempt to win Alfio back.
Finally, she tells Turiddu, Lolas
husband, of his wife's unfaithful-

ness. The opera ends in a dual
which leads to Alfio's death.

The whole scene is set in front
of the village church before, dur-
ing, and after the Easter sunrise
service. The stage was filled with
the large cast who filled the au-
ditorium with their strong, beauti-
ful voices that even an inexperi-
enced opera goer could appreciate.

The annual ritual of the Met has
come to an end. Unfortunately
the expense of the tour has be-
come too great, and the schedule
must be cut. The Atlanta Music
Festival Association, the sponsor
of the local performances, should
be proud of the success of the
Met in Atlanta. The Association
plans to continue providing cul-
tural opportunities in Atlanta. Let's
hope the supporters of the Met
will now give their support to the
new endeavors of the Association.

Fog Concert A Delight

by Rebecca Bradley

London Fog, a very special
group on Agnes Scott's campus,
performed Wednesday night, May
14, at 8:15 in Presser Hall. The
performance opened with an
adorable set. The back of the
stage was open and revealed a
brick wall with a collage of posters
of various people and places.
There was a painter's ladder
beautified with hanging baskets,
the grand piano, and drums. What
more could eight singers want?
^As the performers appeared, the
audience was presented with
each singer's personal costume.
All were apropos to their per-
sonalities. Their opening number,
April in Paris, rang out and got
the audience alive and involved.
Java Jive was also a favorite of
mine. Tricia Maguire, Amy
Hutchins, and Julie Walls all gave
a special touch to Java Jive with
their solos. Amy Gottsche high-
lighted Time Was , and Miss Oak-
land herself, Maggie Luke, in her
designer trashbag sang so clear
and sensitively in Beyond the
Sea

Rick Hitchcock and friends

were a special guest jazz quartet

London Fog featured. The group
is from the University of Georgia,
and Rick Hitchcock happens to
be the brother of Agnes Scott's
Heidi Hitchcock. The group had a
wonderful sound, and special at-
tention was paid to the
saxophonist who also played the
alto sax. We hope to have them
on campus again soon.

The second and third scenes of
London Fog were just as fun as
the first. The second scene was
marked by a beautiful backdrop
of the night skyline of Atlanta,
New York, Paris, London and
more. The singers once again
shocked the audience with their
dress. They all had on real
dresses and looked spectacular!
Imagine, eight girls on campus
with dresses and make-up, and
it wasn't even Black Cat or Spring
Formal! Their songs were equally
as spectacular. The most memo-
rable song in the second scene
was Always True to You in My
Fashion, a solo featuring Julie
Walls. Julie has one of the most
unique and classic voices I have
ever heard. It was tremendous.

The third scene revealed the
well-known London Fog sweat
shirts and stylish look only these
ten girls can have. All the songs

Orchestra Performs

by Ginny Rosenberg

Sunday evening, May 18, mem-
bers of the Agnes Scott commu-
nity were the privileged audience
at a concert given by the A.S.C.
community orchestra conducted
by Mr. Marc Burcham.

First the audience was treated
to two selections performed by
the string section alone: Concerto
Grosso in D Major by Corelli and
Two Elegiac Melodies by Grieg.
The next selection, "Petit Sym-

phonies for Winds" by Gounod,
featured only the wind section of
the orchestra. The full orchestra
finished the concert with four
short pieces by Elgar: "Seranade
Lyrique," "Salut d'Amour," "Chan-
son de Nuit," and "Chanson de
Matin."

The concert, although sparsely
attended, was very successful
and much enjoyed by those who
were there. The 1986-87 season
plans to be a good one and
everyone should make an effort
to attend these free concerts.

in the third scene were dynamic
and proved London Fog a truly
talented group. The group not only
has eight students singing, but
also Michele Malone on drums,
Loucy Tittle on piano, and Heidi
Hitchcock on guitar.

It's a shame that London Fog
only performs once a year, but
despite their rare appearance, at-
tendance was poor. Had more
students attended, they would
have been pleasantly surprised.

In closing, one of the members
of the audience, Holly (Gladis)
Rogers, felt that Mr. Potatohead
(alias Ron Byrnside) did a wonder-
ful job directing this group and
that ASC should be proud! I do
agree that Mr. Byrnside deserves
great thanks for all his hard work

Atlanta Festival Fosters New Productions

Now in its ninth year, the Atlanta
New Play Project is rededicating
itself to its original mission— to
foster the production of new plays
by area theatres. This year, the
Festival's scope is broadening to
include works that represent all
stages of the playwriting process.
As in years past, the bulk of the
Festival will be given over to
staged readings and workshop
productions. Two of this year's
scripts, however, are in very early
stages of development. Festival
attendees will get to hear portions
of these plays, followed by discus-
sions of where the writer hopes to
go with the material. Conference
registrants this year also will be
given the option of purchasing
tickets at a reduced rate for as
many as two productions of new
scripts at area theatres.

The nine new scripts to be read
at this year's Festival are:

AMANITA by Frank Martignon —
an exploration of the tangled emo-

tions underlying a man's search
for his wife's murderer.

CHAMBER MUSIC by Andrew
C. Ordover— a play in two parts
about a family whose members
have lost all sense of communica-
tion and a group of strangers
forced into communicating with
each other.

THE EYE OF THE MATADOR
by Juli M. Kearns — a re-telling of
the Medea legend that looks at
the early stages of her relation-
ship with Jason.

FROMTYBEE LIGHTby Bonnie
Pike — a Southern Gothic comedy
about murder, sex and dreaming
set on Tybee Island near Savan-
nah. The first act of this work in
progress will be read at the Festival.

THE NUNNEHI and THE
UKTENA by Gary Carden-two '
plays that combine storytelling
and mime to re-create Cherokee
myths and legends.

PARTNERS by Geralyn Horton-
a contemporary comedy about
the changes in the relationship of
upwardly mobile young couple.

SURVIVORS by Kent Whipple-
a one-man, multi-character
study of the survival instinct. A
reading of this one-act work in
progress will be followed by a
discussion of the author's plans
for expanding it into a full-length
play.

TO GLEAM IT AROUND TO
SHOW MY SHINE by Bonnie Lee
Moss Rattner— an adaptation of
Zora Neale Hurston's classic
novel THEIR EYES WERE
WATCHING GOD. a poetic com-
edy about a black woman's quest
for a satisfying life in 1920s
Florida.

Outside productions for which
Conference registrants will be
able to purchase tickets are June
Jordan's BANG, BANG UBER
ALLES at Seven Stages, Frank

Students & Professor Run Away With Decatur Derby

by Mary Carter Whitten

Early a couple of Saturday
mornings ago while most Agnes
Scott students were snoozing,
seven bright-eyed members of
the college community were par-
ticipating in the Decatur Derby.
The annual race, sponsored by
the Decatur Recreation Office,
consisted of three, six, and nine
mile runs which began at 8 a.m.
and ended around 9:30 or 10 a.m.
Agnes Scott provided runners,
timers, and water station workers.

Runners Mishana Mogelnicki
'87, Denise Moreno '88, Professor
Gus Cochran and Professor
Cindy Peterson ran against
people of all ages and from all
backgrounds. Eloise Lindsay, Ath-
letic Association Secretary/Trea-
surer, and Adele Clements '88
busily passed out cups of water
to the thirsty runners as they
passed by the four mile mark
behind Dana Fine Arts Building,
and Professor Mike Brown timed
the nine mile race.

The successes among the
Agnes Scott group were many.
Mishana placed second in the
20-29 age category with a time
of 47:30 while Denise took first in
the 15-20 age category for the
three mile competition. The most
interesting finish, however, was
Professor Peterson's. She was in
the lead for the entirety of the six
mile race, "running just for fun"
when a Decatur Police Officer

didn't believe him," she related
but as she rounded the corner for
the last block, Peterson was told
again that she led the pack. "So,"
she laughed, "I sped up so that I
could finish with a respectable
time." The first to cross the finish

called out, "You're winning'" "I line, Professor Peterson won the

AS Kickers Get Kicking

six mile overall race with a time
of 42:13.

Each participant received a run-
ning pouch, a wallet-sized sack
in which runners store small per-
sonal items. In addition, all of the
Agnes Scott runners received

Great Scott! tee shirts.

While the Derby was definitely
a hit with all age groups (young
children and senior citizens alike
participated) it was felt that more
could be accomplished. Eloise
suggested, "The Derby could be

a really good race for Decatur, but
more of the community needs to
be involved." Professor Peterson
agreed and felt that Agnes Scott
could produce a larger group by
organizing the campus commu-
nity and by providing more publicity.

by Adele Clements

On Sunday , May 18th, there
was a meeting for all those inter-
ested in playing soccer in the
1986-87 season. The meeting
was held in the Dining Hall, over
dinner so that people could make
it despite other commitments, but
unfortunately the turnout was ex-
tremely poor.

Those who showed up dis-
cussed the possibilities of a sepa-
rate budget for the soccer team,

new uniforms, and a coach. They
also wanted to set up the practice
times, but since nobody's
schedule was definite, and since
not that many people were there,
the practice times will be decided
upon next quarter.

Another of the items discussed
was "who are we going to play
next season?", but this will also
be decided next fall.

If you are interested, please

Hargroves, the new co-captains
of the soccer team

CAMPUS WIDE VOLLEYBALL FUN

It was 5:15 on a typical Thurs-
day night when suddenly a glass
clinked loudly in Letitia Pate.
Once again the infamous red-
head, Agnes "MIC" Sport perched
atop the rickety leather-ette din-
ing hall chair and exclaimed,
"Everybody. .LISTEN UP! We're
playing VOLLEYBALL FOR FUN
tonight at 5:30 on the soccer field
and we want EVERYONE to be
there." The student response was
enormous! Cheers and whistles
mixed a roar of applause to create
a rousing din which shook the
very banners. Minutes later a
crowd of hundreds returned their
worn trays and half-eaten meals
and exited leaving Epicure to won-
der if it was past the dinner hour
already.

Troopin' around the library gar-
den what did these students spy

- the lean, mean, faculty machine,
militarily-rowed, awaiting their
pupil's arrival. Professors Brown,
Johnson, Cunningham, Jones,
Wistrand, Scott, and Parry were
present, as were Professors
Pilger, Bowling, Eberiel, Peterson,
and Manuel, just to name a few.
Staff and administration joined in

- Kay, Marcia, Nancy, Rob, Rick,
and Deans Hall, Hudson, and
Behan, among others. Professor
McKemie called out the rules and

the faculty are ready to receive. On right, staff members cheer their team on after an
excellent serve by Dean Behan.

Gerry Whittington added a sol-
emn rendition of the National
Anthem.

The games began on two
courts, with students vs. faculty
on one, and staff vs. administra-
tion on the other. The play was
fierce as each team battled its
opponent using three-hit combi-

nations, serves that whistled
through the air, and strategies as
tricky and underhanded as Napo-
leon's (pre-Waterloo). As valiantly
as they tried, the administration
eventually succumbed to the fit-
ness-minded staff as the Admis-
sions and Alumnae offices
cheered ecstatically.

Then came the outcome of the
Student-Faculty game. Oh the
competition of it! The professors
pounded deep bumps and speedy
spikes at the students who coun-
tered with tricky plays and
strategic blocks and dinks. The
blood raced though the players'
veins as the games were tied and

tied again. So evenly matched
were they that referee McKemie
called the match a draw and the
teams mixed with the staff and
administration for more volleyball
fun.

Everyone became involved: the
Foreign Languages and Litera-
tures Departments held cheer-
leading sessions in German,
French, and Spanish, while Pro-
fessor Prophet instructed a vol-
leyball for pregnant professors
workshop. Professors Campbell
and Jones described to faculty
children how volleyball was played
in India. Professor Cochran
examined the political implica-
tions of sending an ASC team to
Seoul for the 1988 Summer Olym-
pics (or even this July's Good-Will
games), while Professor Weber
looked into the economic feasibil-
ity of purchasing a People Ex-
press plane to fly them there.

All in all it was a joyous eve-
ning... full of vigor and community
spirit. Power volleyball at its finest
had been exhibited and skillfully
executed. All left declaring a re-
match the next night while sleepy
faculty and staff children dreamt
that one day they too would be-
come Agnes Scott Welders. And
then . . . Agnes awakened . . .

Best Soccer Season Ever

The end of the academic year
marks the end of the soccer sea-
son; perhaps the most successful
soccer season the team has ever
seen, for not a single game was
lost.

The season began as soon as
spring quarter started, although
practice had been going on
throughout the winter months.
Even during the holidays, the
team members stuck to a strict
exercise and diet plan. The team
was therefore in excellent shape
to start the season. In fact, that
was the key that opened the door
to victory.

The team feels that one of the
factors that played a very impor-
tant role during their games was
the constant support of their fel-
low students, the faculty, the staff,
and especially the Physical Edu-

cation department.

Before the season began,
every player went through a com-
plete re-evaluation of their
priorities, and they decided that
they were now ready to com-
pletely commit themselves to the
team. Practices were set up, and
attendance to these was required
of all members. Games had been
previously scheduled, one every
weekend, and the attendance to
these was incredible.

It was a joy to watch the team
play; if there is poetry in sports,
they were a perfect example of it.
More than just 11 players on a
field, they were a team with beau-
tiful passes and perfect shots.

Speaking of fields, it was a
pleasant surprise and a much wel-
comed coincidence that for this
successful season the new field

was ready. They were a brand
new team playing on a brand new
field. There was a unanimous feel-
ing of achievement at being able
to inaugurate such a wonderful
new field, completed in record
time so that the soccer team could
have a regulation size "home"
field, with a very successful sea-
son.

Unfortunately, the year is over;
the fall season will be a totally
different one: new players, new
ideals, and the degree of commit-
ment yet unknown. We can only
hope that the new soccer team
members have the same motiva-
tion as this spring's team, and that
next year they will once again
delight us with their brilliant plays
and give us another victorious
season.

"PINKS" BEAT STUDENTS
IN A GAME TO REMEMBER

The Spring quarter is usually a
very busy one for everybody, but
at the same time everyone tries
to take advantage of the season-
ally warm weather by having a
little bit of fun. So, it is not so
strange that soccer games.
Softball games, volleyball games,
and basketball games are sched-
uled between the faculty, the ad-
ministration, and the students.

This spring was no exception,
and the faculty and staff chal-
enged the students to a basket-
ball game. Now please under-
stand that the challengers are
none others than the member of
the famous 'AIM TO MAIM" team,
and the challenged are the unusu-
ally apathetic students. But you
know how it goes, "when the going
gets tough . . . ", so the students
practiced and practiced until they
could dribble the ball down the
court without tripping on their own
feet, and until they could shoot at
the basket, and actually hit it.

They had a whole week before
the scheduled game, and with the
help of Coach Peterson they
learned the finer rules of basket-
ball. Now not only could they pass
the ball to the right person (inside
the court), but they could also set
a pick and a roll (although they
didn't have enough time to learn
the difference between the two).

The Athletic Association do-
nated uniforms for both teams,
and Cynthia Houser and David
Lawson volunteered to referee.
Game time was at 8:00 on Tues-
day night, but both teams were
there well ahead of time, just so

-that they could take some "prac-
tice" shots.

Rick, Rob, Gerry, Harry, and
Terry looked vicious in their new
pink uniforms, while the student
team, (mainly Athletic Association
people) looked quite professional
in their blue and gold uniforms.
The starting line-up was ready,
and the traditional jumpshot ini-
tiated the game.

At the end of the first half, the
"pinks" were leading 48-30, but
the students began the second
half with new energies (brought
about by non-tired players). The
faculty-staff team however had
no substitutes, and soon their
fatigue began to interfere in their
game. Seeing that they could no
longer run as far or as fast as the
students, they resorted to un-
sportsmanlike tactics like fouling.
But their intentions backfired
when the referees ruled that they
had gone over their foul limit and
for every foul after that the stu-
dents were awarded free-throws.

The second half ended with a
very close victory for the faculty,
108-107, and since the students'
morale was at stake, the pink's
treated them to "refreshments" at
Tracksides after the game. It was
a fun evening for all except for
Coach Peterson who decided that
for next year she would make
sure the students remembered
that in the second half you do not
try to score on the same basket
as you did in the first half. They
had already awarded the "pinks"
30 points before they understood
the meaning of Coach's words:
"The other one, the other one."
